What does Brad like?
People are always asking me what I like and dislike and since I always notice myself saying "that sucks" and "that rules" anyway, I figured I might as well compile all my likes and dislikes into a nice little database that people could search and browse. I started the project in the beginning of May 1998 and whenever I noticed myself saying that something's cool or something just plain pissed me off, I whipped out my palmtop and took note of it. I continue the project to this day so come back often! <grin>
