Back to most current version of Gary Joe Wolff's welcome page
Please check out my new website:
Gary J. Wolff (in Tokyo, Japan)
WBAP radio personality,
professional speaker,
and author Bryan Dodge, one of today's
most celebrated experts on personal
and professional growth, gives an on-air plug on
Jan. 10 to
Gary, an English teacher in Tokyo.
Listen to the 2-minute radio clip here:
The above collage, entitled "Blue
Popsicle,"
was created & submitted as part of the 800x600 Project,
the brain-child of a grad student in South Dakota several years ago
who
solicited many interesting 8x8 photo collages from all over the
world,
with the requirement that each photo be sized 75x100 pixels and pertain
to some common theme.
Another 800x600 collage featuring the breathtakingly beautiful Japanese
mountains can be viewed
HERE.
A
special memorial webpage has now been prepared to honor our departed
friend,
Ted Evan Stewart
March 22,
1957 - January 9, 2008
Happy New Year 2009 !

Attention all stargazers !! If you're interested in satellites or astronomy, you've come to the right place! Their aim is to provide you with all the information you need to observe satellites such as the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle, spectacular events such as the dazzlingly bright flares from Iridium satellites, as well as a wealth of other space flight and astronomical information. They not only provide the times of visibility, but also detailed star charts showing the satellite's track through the heavens. All their pages, including the graphics, are generated in real-time and customized for your location and time zone. |
Wake-Up Call

a 2:50 min. music video essay by Chris Valentine
(The song "Imagine" by John Lennon is the
actual music the 7 astronauts woke up to this day,
just 2 days before they perished upon reentry on Feb. 1, 2003)
The above represents the planetary alignment as of June 5,
2005.

the Milky Way at 10 million light

Then move through space towards the Earth
in successive orders of magnitude until you reach
a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee,
Florida.
After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf
into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls,
the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally,
into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

Well,
I guess that's all for
now. Thanks for visiting.
I sincerely hope this web site has been a culturally rewarding
experience for
you (joke).
It's grown considerably since first being launched in Jan.
'97,
and it is unlikely you will be able to see everything in only 1 visit.
So please bookmark this site and come back when you can stay longer.
Or as we say back in Texas,
"Y'all cum back now, ya heah?"
Happy surfing !!
And
don't forget to drop
me a line if you have time.
If you have any comments, suggestions, complaints,
or would just like to yell at me,
you can send email here:
Congratulations!
You are person number
to visit this site so far today!
Ha Ha Ha !
The last time I fiddled with this site was April 26, 2011.
