Hello. I am Aaron of Minneapolis. Welcome to my homepage. I was born in 1982 and I live in a southwestern suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. I like Star Trek, science, history, math, Robert E. Howard's stories, Isaac Asimov's science essays, and The Sims. I hope you like what I have here.

The Barbarian Keep. A very good Conan and barbarian info site.

This site contains information on every Star Trek character, episode, and movie, as well as information on Klingon culture, stardates, chronology, and lots of other things. Also contains Star Trek community resources, as well as public chatrooms.

Memory Alpha. The Star Trek wiki encyclopedia. It's like Wikipedia for the Star Trek universe.

The Darwin Awards. From their website: "The Darwin Awards honor those who improve our gene pool... by removing themselves from it." Worth a look. Plus, they have a book out (actually three books) as well.

Asperger Syndrome Webring. A ring of sites about Asperger Syndrome, the so-called "disorder" that I have. (I always explain it as like having a Macintosh brain in a Windows PC world.)

Wowhead. A World of Warcraft database. Contains information on items, quests, NPCs, talents, etc.

Evidence for Jury-Rigged Design in Nature. Some collected posts from the talk.origins newsgroup, showing how evolution doesn't always choose the best solution, but instead chooses any solution that works, no matter how weird or illogical it is, provided that it does more good than harm, at least in the short term.

The Amazing "Send Me A Dollar" Website. If you feel like it, you can send this guy $1 (cash via snail mail, or through PayPal!), and receive absolutely nothing for your non-tax-deductable donation. :-) Also contains comments from people who sent in dollars, and a rated list of other "send me money" sites. An amusing site, worth a visit.

AssMan's Internet Poopstain. My brother's website. WARNING! Not work safe! Also, my brother used to play bass in a small rock band with two of his friends, called Fustigated. Warning! This site not for the easily offended!

The Science Museum of Minnesota. My local science museum, located in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. They have dinosaurs, human body gallery, hands-on experiments, an Omnitheater/IMAX thrater, and more. They moved into a great new building on the riverfront in late 1999, so if you're ever in town, feel free to check it out.

Conan the Barbarian WebRing. A Web Ring of Conan sites. The Barbarian Keep is a member of this ring. Someday, when I get around to it, I might list my site there.

If you get a bill with www.wheresgeorge.com written on it, please go to that site and enter that bill's denomination, series, and serial number, and the zip code you're in when you're entering the bill. You can also become a registered Where's George user (for free) and enter bills that haven't been entered before -- just make sure you write www.wheresgeorge.com on them before you enter them.
