Intro To Dan & Carol's State of Mind

Greetings Hi, we are Dan (aka DanRW) and Carol (aka RockINsis). We would like to give you a pair of brief bios to give you an idea of "where we're coming from". Then, we'll try to persuade you to take a look around and really "get into our heads". We'll try not to bore the crap out of you along the way. Dan Dan was born in January of 1954, in Evansville, Indiana. He does computer aided drafting for a structural steel detailing company (okay, he draws pictures of big pieces of metal). Before the drafting thing, he worked in a "high end" component stereo store as a salesman and service technician. Dan's hobbies are computing, music, photography, and Carol. Dan also gets a kick out of writing about himself as if he was somebody else. Carol Carol was born in August of 1962, in Tell City, Indiana (that's right, it's named after William Tell). Carol works as an apartment reconditioner for an apartment complex here in Evansville. Carol's hobbies are music, drawing, WebTV, and oddly enough, old men like Dan. Intro This is it! Z Cars We own an '82 Datsun-Nissan 280ZX that we both really enjoy using as a weapon to terrorize old men with hats, blue hairs, and the teenagers who think "they be bad" behind the wheel. If you don't own a "Z" car, you can still visit our Z Cars page, pick out your favorite model from the past 26 years and make racing noises while you stare at the screen and pretend to herd pedestrians back to the sidewalks where they belong. MIDI Have you ever visited a MIDI page and clicked on song after song that unleashed an ear wrenching, barely recognizable, hatchet job of your otherwise favorite tune? If you stick with us, those days are over. We have already forced ourselves to endure the Muzak kazoo hacks by the thousands, so that we could offer a little over 200 of the very best sounding MIDI files in the world (wide web). Photos (The Rolling Stones) We can prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you don't have to be a professional photographer with a pit pass and makin' the big bucks to get some outstanding concert photos. No siree, you can be so poor that you don't have a pot or a window to throw it out of and still turn out pictures like the ones Dan took of The Rolling Stones way back in 1975. Now, the only real trick is getting your camera into the concert with you. Photos (Dan & Carol's Wedding) Okay, at this point you're probably saying to yourself (or whoever hangs out in your skull), "Sure, this pair has some way cool stuff, but do they look like "real" people and are they married or just living in sin?" Folks, we look so real it's scary and we are indeed married (now). To prove these truths to be self evident, just go to the same intro page that transported you to The Rolling Stones concert photos and click on the link to our wedding pictures instead. IRC We met each other and fell in lust over the phone before actually meeting in person. However, the 21st century way to do this sort of thing is by chatting online. That way, you are not likely to be instantly turned off by weird accents, speech impediments, or a voice that sounds like it should belong to your own gender before you have a chance to hear (or read) what the other person has to say (write). We play Cupid's little helpers by offering a number of different IRC scripts that you are encouraged to use to "cyber" your way into someone else's heart. If you have already found your significant other, then just chat. Okay? Search Have you ever been stuck in a public bathroom stall reading the graffiti on the walls (and carved into the door) and thought, "I hope nobody else comes in until I'm done." and then thought, "Okay, it says here "for a good time call...", but how do I know who's likely to be on the other end?" For all you know, it could be your boss or your own girlfriend/boyfriend. Fear no more! Jot down that phone number and race to our search page where you will find over 20 of the greatest search engines known to man. Scroll down to the AnyWho banner and click on it and you will be able to type in that phone number and do a reverse look-up to find out who it belongs to. Cats Cat's say the darnedest things! Need proof? We have taken photos of our house cats and a number of strays from around the 'hood and asked them to write down what they were really thinking when the picture was taken. You won't believe some of the crazy stuff these furry critters wrote. They must be on catnip. Awards "Why", you say, "would I ever want to look at page after page of awards these bozos have won?" The answer is simple. Many of the awards are very creatively done and just plain cool to look at. They are also a link back to the site that gave us the award and we have reprinted the comments that were in the email message when we received the award and we have added our own reply with a short review of their site. So what? So, you may decide that it wouldn't be any big deal to apply for some of the same awards and hang them on your own awards pages. You can also look at the awards as just a bunch of links to some web sites that are definitely worth visiting. Links & Credit Speaking of links, we do have a page full of links (without awards) to some of the best sites we have found and some of the best people we have found on this here net. 'Nuff said! Banners Everybody loves banner ads. Right? Well, they are easiest to love when it's your banner on somebody else's site. Okay, hit us with your best shot. We allow you to instantly add your banner to our site (free of charge) by first, scrolling past all of the banners of our friends and people we feel like we need to "suck up" to and click on the "ADD YOUR BANNER" link. After you have added your banner, you can soothe your guilty conscience by going to the next page and copying the code for one of our banners and pasting it on one of your own pages. Web Rings Web rings are just one more ingenious method of blowing an entire evening hopping from one web site to another. There is one important difference, though. A web ring should take you to another site with more stuff, on the same subject, as the one you just came from, and then let you "push off" to the next one in the ring. We have joined rings that reflect some of our interests and the kind of stuff that you can find right here. The topics range from IRC, to web page design, to classic rock music, to just plain old, good natured, silly crap. After all, once you've spent hours looking at serious stuff, it's a good idea to relax and unwind with a few pages of no brainer silly crap. Tools & Help The Tools & Help link is mostly for WebTV users, but there's plenty for 'puter users too. The first page that you will see after clicking on the link, is a collection of the "tools" that we have found to be the most useful for all sorts of things like checking spelling, viewing the HTML source code of a web page, working with graphics, transloading, and testing HTML code fragments. These tools are both WebTV and computer compatible unless they use a feature that is only available to WebTV users. At the very top of the page, are single button links to other pages that we consider to be in the "help" category. The very first link on our tools page, will beam you directly down the page to the selection of transloaders to prevent those long, annoying scrolls. You can also choose to go to our logins page that will allow you to store your user name and password for some of the most popular free web site hosts and free email services. There is likewise a link to our 216 color cube which will show the color that you pick as the page's background color and give you that pesky HEX code. Soon, the color cube will also show you the RGB code and the color's name. Want more? How about trying the link to our F-key saver page which, unlike most WebTV f-key savers, is computer friendly. Oh yeah, if you're not sure how to use a particular tool, just click on any of "Help" buttons. Carol's Site Need to get away from here for a few to chill? Try clicking on the "Carol's Site" link on our extra tricky, galactic, JavaScript menu and check out Carol's solo effort of a web site that she calls "RockINsis' Way". It's a fun site with lots of other stuff that you won't find here and it keeps Carol so busy that she doesn't have a lot of time to boss the ongoing construction of this site. Anyway, it's still brought to you by the same Carol that brought you the Carol in Dan & Carol's State of Mind. Get it? E-Mail & Guest Books If you have any questions, comments, or really nasty things to say about anything pertaining to this web site, please, send email to wecouldcare@less.com. Seriously, we have an email link on every page and a guest book that we encourage all visitors to experience at least once. We hope that you will find some things here that you can use or, at least, tickled some part of your anatomy. Once you have given this web site "the once over", you should have a pretty good feel for Dan & Carol's real state of mind.
