(editor's note: This page was created as my first web project in October 1994. Out of respect and nostalgia for the early days of the WWW,
I've left this page pretty much as it was created.)

Everybody's got to have a hobby other than seeking information-overload via
the internet. Well, I've found a way to incorporate both my net addiction and my
fascination with armor and weapons. This web page is a start - it's
based on a random collection of arms and armor photos from George Cameron
Stone's "A Glossary of the Construction, Decoration and Use of Arms and
Armor in All Countries and In All Times" that I found deep in a
K-12 gopher. I did the descriptions out of memory, so if you notice any errors
in nomenclature, drop me a letter and I'll fix it.
