Do you have any curiosity for what it is like to be an aging baby boomer, bachelor guy
living in a middle class suburban setting in the 21st century?? Well, it's kinda like this...

Gosh, I have some friends.....

• Whoa! There's my best buddy Tom Semans, who worked with me as Lighting Technician and Production Manager for many years at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts (SCA). He was living in Boston many years ago, then more recently in Atlanta.  He got work in the famous historic art deco Fox Theater.  Most recently, he moved to Hilton Head, South Carolina, and was working at the Self Family Arts Center. Nowadays he's a kayak guide and working for the Crowne Plaza hotel, just being a working guy and trying to have some fun.  He is as always still somewhat crazed with making and trading bootleg concert recordings of "The Boss" and Neil Young.   Hey Tom, whatever happened to  "Music Arcade"??  And how about AZ friend Cindyloo, a fellow Rustie with her own musical diversions...
• It's a bit romantic to visit Big Bird (Brian Beinlich and his wife, Sharon and their 101 Dalmatians).  In 1995 they got hitched, and....now...there is the budding baby Mason to join Momma and Papa.  Shows how things can happen and change.  Bravo!  If you want, you might be able to return to the scene of their specially romantic fabulous WWW* experience. On his page you can see his new baby, World Wide Wedding pictures, and even some bootleg fotos of yours truly.
• Closer to home, there's my neighbors, Steve Gonnella and his wife Debbie. Geez...they were both teachers for a while, but now Steve is back working in the private sector doing odd jobs. Debbie hung in there and is now pretty much retired, congratulations!  How many favors do I owe you now, man? (isn't that what neighbors are for? :  ).  Neighbor!!
• Then there's Barry Dude! Barry Lyon was some kinda networking/ hardware/ customer service manager/subordinate type thingie person, but all I know now is that he has been out of work for a while, enjoying life and most importantly, is that he is a good friend. I love you, man!
• Plus, there are some of my good friends from work.   Geez...at least I am still working!!
• For the past decade, I have been working most of the time for the company originally and best known as Go-Video. See below for details.
• Of special note is my very good friend, John Berkheimer who was formerly Chief Engineer at Go-Video. He also worked with me at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts (SCA), and has always been a really good friend and a true inspiration for things electronic and hi-tech. Then, still at the "new" Sonic Blue there's Chris Chevalier...(as always, I will be indebted to him for picking up my Betamax SLHF-1000 in Manhattan!) and long time associate, Chris Porter, moving up the corporate ladder and married to Ricki (ex-Go-Video secretary)! Certainly most important is their baby boy Justin Tyler....and Ricki's daughter Alexis, of course. Best wishes to all of you!   Also, there's ex-roommates Martin Elmers (who is a good friend) and Mike Wood. These three had a long running collaboration of software and hardware development for unique business and hardware applications: Mesa Research.  Now John is working with Martin on a the Promote Remote, a very special internet powered remote control, marketed by Gemini/Phillips which is muay kueleo!
• Oh yes, there's Deadhead Emeritus, Bob Kirkpatrick (check out his home page here) with his psychedelic family. He's also my personal netguru../ he was the first to get that netcam thing going and took our personal pics so very long ago)!
• After those guys, there's the infatuigable Art Berger (who I met at Go-Video) and his demented Woody Allen-esque world. On a never-ending search for the highly overrated...what a nebbish, what a guy! Oh yes, and he repairs TVs! Who said shtupping shiksas is a mitzvah? Was that me?
• Hey! There's Mitch Simons with his loverly wife Beth (and child). I've known Mitch for a while, too...he used to manage the Sundome a looong time ago, then he was now defunct Entertainment Management Group...(was owned by megacorp Viacom). Now he is with Iris Technologies, do some kinda hi-tech thingie.
• Jody Goldfield is a reclusive but very smart electronics guy who I've known a long time. He trades and services industrial electronic test equipment similar to, say Tucker, but of course on a much smaller scale. Back to school??
• Brian Morphew...a buddy I've stayed in touch with over the years....he's my friend and backyard mechanic.  Still diving for golf balls, Brian?
• Iris Finklestien (no relation to Steven or Richard) used to live across the street from me, but she got married and moved....she's now an ex-neighbor!
• There's Diane....a good friend, she's a movie hound. She's generally low key but opinionated, however that is possible. She's an overall nice person that I enjoy hanging out with.  Smile, Diane!
• Honorable mention goes to Ralph Mueller (from the SCA), who used to be over thar at the City of Scottsdale's Cable Channel 11, but retired...what are you doing Ralph.... rite on, Ralphie baby!?!?

• Stephen Finklestein.  Twin brother of Richard, they are (were) electronics wheeler-dealers.  I just hate it when people do too much crap and it catches up with them.  What more can be said.  So sad.
• Jan Tucker.  Jan was a special guy who was just coming in to his own....he had great taste in music and art.  He had some problems, perhaps linked to his diabetes.  He stayed with me for about a year around 1992.  I had been in contact with him and just seen him in June of 2001 then a few months later, gone from heart failure.
• I knew Andy Carrol for almost 30 years...from a long time ago at "Audio Lab"....to more recent ventures with tattoo equipment.  He was a good man, and he is missed.  When my mom moved out of their last house, he was the Realtor that sold it for us.  For a finder's fee, he took me to Durant's for an unforgettable dinner; it was the last time I saw him. Thanksgiving, 2000. We think somethings caught up with him.
• Pat Oxford- was a good old friend;  I partied with him for many many years, and would listen to his rants and raves....he was a self professed "tube guru" who had been building custom power and pre-amplifiers from scratch for many years . Died Jan 4, 1999.  Hepatitis.  RIP, Pat.
• Khauri Munns.  A fiercely individual spirit from days past in the 80's at the Scottsdale Center.  She made a mark and had an attitude.  Truck wreck in the wilderness. Will you ever RIP?

• Dick Robinson a good friend (was a friend of Pat Oxford), lives nearby, used to sell beds (now he's bar tending) and tries to stay out of trouble. Now, he's Mr. Magic! Slick! He's got some good stories!
• Let us pause for a moment for supercybercutie Simone with her Sun Buddy  - she is still offering sun block in individual use packages purportedly made from pharmaceutical grade ingredients by a French laboratory. The Simonestress!! {Hey Simone, where is that missing $100 for your car rental??  And you got married without ever telling me???}
• On the other side of that World Wide stuff, there's my "littl' buddy" Kari Hatamuki-where are you, buddy?

• As you may have read above, I am spending the majority of time at what is now SONIC|blue, formerly Sensory Science, formerly Go-Video.  In 2001-2, I have done only a moderate amount of freelance audio, video and electronics service and consulting.  But what I did do is build my awesome stereo, which I will showcase here. Too much!
• Go-Video was best known for the invention of the Dual-Deck VCR in the 1990s.
• They changed their official name to SENSORY SCIENCE a few years ago, but in September 2001, the company was bought up by SONIC|blue of Rio MP3 player fame (in Tigard Oregon), with the home office in Santa Clara, California.  So now, I am a QA (Quality Assurance) SB (Stan Brown) SONIC|blue kinda guy.
• My responsibility as QA Engineer is to ensure that products designated to me are manufactured to be of suitable quality before mass production. Most recently I have been to Suwon and Seoul, Korea and then I went to Hong Kong, Shenzen and Xiamen in China!  Wow!!!
• Things are moving along at SONIC|blue, hopefully the stock will soon resume to a deserving higher price level (at the time of this update it is hovering around $1.00; NYSE SBLU). As always, results and time will tell!
• We here at SONIC|blue are responsible for some very nifty products:
• Go-Video Products:
• Dual-Deck VCRs
• Dual-Deck Combo DVD/VCRs.
• Home Theater In a Box (DVD player, receiver and speakers in one low-cost package).
• Stand alone DVD players.
• Our retailers include Best Buy, Circuit City, Costco, Target, QVC, Radio Shack, etc.
• Replay TV:
• Hard-disk (40, 80,120 GB) based PVR (Personal Video Recorder).  You might best know PVRs by another name, TIVO is the best-known brand-but even they are hurting in that market.  Ours has some unusual features:
• Commercial Advance
• Ability to share programs through internet streaming.
• In-home streaming
• On-line and internet accessible online guide and programming.
• Rio MP3 Products:
• The Rio Riot, a 20 GB hard disc based MP3 player.
• The Rio Volt, a really nice CD/MP3 disc Player
• The Rio line of portable MP3 players
• I was a specialist at "Go-Video" for the on-screen system development and remote control customization for Loewe digital TVs, but in January 2002, they (including Mike Aiken) moved to Plymouth, MA.  Damn, do you guys even have a website?
• I completed consulting on a large project for the City of Scottsdale, this one being for Westworld Horse Park.
• Several years ago, I finished a working stint with JOS Projection Systems-which is now Technology Providers (David Barazoto is de man!). I consulted constructing several large Audio/Video systems for them; a classroom at the College of Law at ASU, an A/V system at Sun Lakes, and the then new St. Joseph's' Barrow's Neurological Institute facility: a video conference room and auditorium.
• For many, many years I've known the good people at EAR in Phoenix. They are professional audio equipment suppliers, and most recently are into digital workstations and network communications. Big shot Ed V. met Karen, his wife in my kitchen! Alan Dahl is a master technician, who is transition from the analog world to a tri-lingual digital new world. There's bossman Mike K., Mr. do-it-all Roger, and oh yes, the pussbag salesman himself John G. (and Tim!).  Man, they have been here a long, long time.  A solid bunch of guys...are you all still there??
• For ten years, I worked for The City of Scottsdale at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts. It's still a progressive city with an 800 seat performing arts center, I was the Sound Technician there, working many diverse music artists such as Dave Brubeck, Oscar Peterson, etc. They still have the annual Arts Festival every spring... ahh...the good old days.
• Speaking of the good old days, a long time ago, in a place here in Phoenix, Arizona, I worked at the notorious Theatre-In-The-Round....The Celebrity Theatre as sound technician/monitor mixer. What blast from the past...! I worked some wild shows. David Anderson was the Technical Director (now at Sunbelt Scenic Studios), and is a friend. And Brian Beinlich was house mixer. Wow! Here's some of the bands we did: Billy Joel, Jerry Jeff Walker, Harry Chapin, Leonard Cohen, Jerry Riopelle, Fleetwood Mac, Frank Zappa....oh man, the list goes on.  The good old days, indeed!

• Watch TV? (Don't we all) like to see your favorite music artist perform on TV? Wow, just check out Rock Music on TV for listings of you can hear and watch.  They have been around a while, and they are good!
• Howzabout concerts? Want to know the where your favorite band is playing on the road? How about what's going on in your town this week? Man, these guys are the best, they have been around a long time. Check out Pollstar and do a search for your favorite band or city.
• Geez, do you REALLY like rock and roll? The internet has changed over the years, but there still are some pretty good music links:
• AMG (All Music Guide) has a really good description for most every rock band that has existed.  Best listing I have seen.
• Ultimate Band List...find plenty of info about ANY rock band.
• Rolling Stones one of the older web sites-getting a little stale....
• Hard Rock Hotel, the place (I want) to go when in Vegas.
• Rolling Stone magazine...I subscribe...
• MTV...yes I still want my MTV. MTV 2. VH1, VH1 Classics.  Is it all good?  Mostly...
• Here is a good place for music reviews.
• Then, there's my favorites in local stuff...
• Evening Star; Danny Z (and that Quirky Johnny D) the best local live music promoters. Well, they were. Now they are owned by SFX, international mega concert peoples.
• KZON, probably the best rock station in the Valley. Now with the red "oldster" Dave Pratt, and Howard Stern.

There are lots of things I like to mess with during this electronic media age...audio, video, electronics, pinball, video games, and computer stuff.

MY STEREO
If you know me, you know that I enjoy the entire electronics/media thing...I've been servicing, assembling, buying, trading, selling, operating, documenting audio and video equipment for about 30 years, so naturally, I have a large audio/video system.

After Thanksgiving of 2000, I began my trek to integrate my old stereo into an updated essentially easy to use full system.  It is installed into a 72" tall x2 wide 19" rack with all equipment properly installed.  It is commanded by a Pronto system that has a very large integrated software program I've created to work the whole thing.  It is cool!!

My system has been fully mapped out and several pictures I have taken of it can be seen on a separate web page, kept HERE for my reference. There is a lot of crap connected, but it seems to work pretty well.
WOWY WOW WOW WOW!

• Included into my new rack system is the Nirvis Slink-e that controls my three Sony 400 disc changers.  Slink-e is sooo nifty 'cause it allows PC control of the discs or playlists, and includes album covers and automatic CDDB lookup.
• I have many Sony components, Why? Sony seems to have the best corporate based consumer electronics engineering in the world; after all, they are giants in the broadcast and pro audio industries, and I believe there is a trickle down effect in their products.
• I am a Betamax enthusiast and I've a few years got a new (to me) SLHF-1000 - a pinnacle of Beta VCRs. Sony has been innovative leaders in design and I like the attention to detail.  I also like the ergonomic design and useful features they pack into their products. This is so in most of their legacy products.

My Sony products: (some are digitally connected)
• TA-E2000ESD a great digital processing control preamplifier
• 730ES tuner
• 75ES DAT deck
• MDP 333 laser disc player
• CDP-C545 5 disc CD player
• SLV-70HF VHS VCR
• SL-HF1000 Betamax VCR
• APM-007AV amplified speakers (square diaphragm) for the PC
• IT-M500 speakerphone
• ICF-260 Dream Machine clock radio.
• When we were Sensory Science, we manufactured the California Audio Labs line of products, and I have several of their units.  It is audibly great sounding equipment, however, the operation is at least occasionally "quirky", hey, I shouldn't complain...I have:
• CL-2500 SSP Surround Sound Processor.  It boasts excellent sound with a major effort to simplify product operation by using "presets".  It has a wide array of inputs and capabilities.
• CL-2500 Video Switch.  .
• CL-20  DVD player.
• I'm a JBL (Pro) speaker man. I listen to music via a pair of large 4350 studio monitors (4-way; two 15" woofers, a 12" mid-bass, a two inch compression driver mounted to a straight horn, and a slot tweeter), a  4311B for center (with an augmented bi-radial horn and slot tweeter), and (4) CONTROL 1's for surround.  Jeez, in March of 2001, I went through a big hassle getting the 2230 woofers reconed via JBL (ultimately unsatisfactorily because they can "bottom out" at extreme LF levels).  They also got re-grill clothed, and look and sound pretty nice... I am Happy.
• My power amplification system (someday I hope to upgraded to quad-amp'ing the JBLs):
• Bi-amp system for the JBL monitors:
• JBL 5234 crossover set at 250Hz
• 2 Pioneer Elite M-90 200w.ch., one each for low and high frequencies
• BGW 50a power amplifier, center channel
• BGW 250c power amplifier, surround channels
• someday...maybe...all Bryston power!  Or a CAL audio CL2500 amp (5x500WRMS!)
• My other audio components include:
• Nakamichi 680ZX cassette deck
• Phase Linear 8000 turntable, with Ortofon cartridge.
• Additional video equipment includes
• A Loewe 36" "Art" television with a "digital chassis".  It is quite possibly the best direct-view television set being made in the world!  Supplied by Sensory Science (see above about them).  It has cool on-screen software in it, and I helped!
• Go-Video Dual-Deck VCRs I have accumulated over time:
• GV-9755,  a recent top-of-the-line model with flying erase heads
• SDV-650, a Go-Video branded top-of-the line VHS single-deck machine from JVC, it has excellent quality with a TBC and dynamic drum heads.
• In the closet are more old Go-Video Dual-Deck VCRs:
• GV-2000, the original, Dolby Stereo, (in the closet-a prototype)
• GV-3060, the original Hi-Fi model (at mom's in a dusty cabinet)
• GV-8020, 8mm/VHS (in the bedroom)
• GV-6060, first generation stacked Hi-Fi model (in the closet)
• Dish Networks Dishplayer hard drive recorder.  A precursor to the Ultimate Personal Video Recorder (PVR) that uses Microsoft software to do it's job.  It is cool because it:
•     Has an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) that can be searched.
•     Has a moderate 10 hr. recording capability.
•     Has lossless MPEG-2 recording, and can record 5.1, also.
•     Can pause or delay live TV.
•     BUT-the reliability sucks; a good reason that Microsoft's Ultimate went "tits up".
• As I am working for Sonic Blue, I have a Replay 4040 utilized into my system and includes ethernet connectivity. It is a very interesting product with a lot of potential...however...don't get me started....
• I was instrumental in creating a "test plan" for the Rio Riot, the 20 GB hard drive MP3 player, so I have one.  It is a nifty thang for listening to MP3 music on the road. (I have about 15GB MP3 library).
• I service consumer and professional audio equipment freelance and have constructed and repaired many, many audio and video systems.
• I maintain a service shop in my house, complete tools and test equipment. Test equipment includes Hewlett-Packard oscilloscopes, VTVMs and distortion analyzer, Waveforms oscillator, Sound Technology FM generator, counter, variac/load panel, and my personal favorite, a Tektronix X-Y monitor permanently connected to a (custom built by Pat) component tracer.
• I've been servicing equipment on and off for Esoteric Audio, Scottsdale for many years.
• I owned several older 7' Advent Video Beam 1000 projectors.  Amazingly in November of 2001, a Hollywood studio called me interested in a unit I still had in the garage.  They wanted it for a movie production they are doing about Bob Crane the oversexed actor from Hogan's Heros. The movie is called "Auto Focus", and should appear around December of 2002.  Wow, my old electronics, featured in a movie...about a star murdered down the street from me.  How bizarre!
• Someone told me that this projector was built by Electro-Home for Advent, anyone know anything about it?
• I also have a Kloss 2000 I must get around to repairing and using that one, too.
• Here is a very valuable resource for repairing audio and other electronic equipment.
• I also buy and sell some audio/video equipment. I use the Scottsdale-based Orion Research (I've their president a few times, Roger Rohrs) as a reference along with Audio magazine.
• I occasionally follow the internet newsgroup rec.audio.marketplace. I occasionally buy and sell audio and test equipment.  I really enjoy newsgroups and MP3s these days.  Lots of cool old music to find and hear!
• Heck, I was Phoenix Chairman for the AES (Audio Engineering Society) several years ago.
• I have a penchant and knowledge of pro audio and rock music.
• Of course, I enjoy good, well presented movies...and I peruse the TV and video industries.
• IMDB International Movie Database is the best for all things about movies.  Links, reviews, trivia, you name it, they have it.
• Here is a good source for movie reviews.
• In a foul mood?  Go talk to Mr. Cranky about it.  He will tell you how bad a movie is, not how good it is.  Great fun!
• Wanna buy some DVDs?  Here are the best deals you can find for finding movies on the internet!

• I enjoy batting the silver ball around; I have two machines and try to keep up with the Pinball industry.  It is amazing and sad of the demise of pinball.  Williams is out of the pinball business as of 1999.  Here is an interesting article about it.  Is the future of pinball dying??
• High Speed - a 1985 Williams game (jeez, they only make slots now) that has become somewhat of a standard for pinballing. Although at least two generations old, it still gives good play...run the red light and escape!
• Funland - a fully electro-mechanical Gottleib game from around 1968, this game's object is to target 10 ducks to light a rotating special. Old, tired, but still fun to play on occasion.
• Heck, I even have an Atari Video Pinball as well as an Video Music which turns tunes to video patterns.
• I "upgraded" to GT Interactive's Arcade Classics, to run it on the PC.
• I used to own a "Firepower" but sold it to my friend Rich Robinson. For Sale!

• There is a smattering of X-10 devices around the house that allow remote control of various electrical devices. Some interesting devices are:
• Butler-In-A-Box- This silly thing is a voice activated X-10 controller. You yell your commands, it recognizes you, and then you tell it what to do...dial a phone number, dim the lights, etc. Fairly useless and currently broken, it is interesting, nonetheless.
• Homeminder- This guy allows you to control lights and appliances via a TV interface screen, including timed events. It allows you to lay out individual rooms throughout the house.
• Around the house. I use the X-10 modules to control some overhead mini-fresnells, kitchen and auxiliary lights and the bedroom TV (a great alarm clock!).  If you have any interest in X-10 products, you must check out this link (and this one too!)...both of these guys are pretty good.
• The thing I like best about the X-10 modules is the ability to simply turn all the lights out, at a conveniently placed button location. I like to be in the dark...especially with someone special! No comment at this time : (
• Speaking of lights out, I have a custom switch system for my audio/video system, that allows all of my components to, with the flick of a switch, go to what I call "phantom" mode. What this means is that all of the indicator lamps and displays on the equipment turn off, while the equipment continues to operate. I find this ideal for minimizing distractions, especially during movie watching.

When it comes to computers, software and the internet, I have my preferences....I try to keep these complex things simple and straightforward.  Read my "How To Create Your Own Webpage" below.

• You must be well connected to get around and have a good Internet Service Provider.  I have been through a ton of 'em, but today I use Cox high speed.  If you just have a modem, I suggest you get a good inexpensive one.  Hey, go to google.com and search for "free ISP" to see what is available at a good price.  Or, pony up the dough, and get the high speed, if you can.
• You must also have to have the right software to do any internet job...and a really good way to find it is via The Ultimate Collection Of Winsock software, better known as TUCOWS
• My computer? (07-02) Now, I gots a Pentium 4 with 256 MB of RDRAMM on a Intel Motherboard, 16mb ATI All-In-Wonder Raedon video card (with TV tuner and video in/outs), 30, 20 and 18 GB HDs. V.90 56K modem, x40 CD ROM, Yamaha 4x2x6 CD Burner, Creative Platinum Audigy Sound Card, USB scanner, SCSI card (for the CD-ROM burner and 18 GB HD) cheesy Lexmark printer, 20" Mitsubishi monitor.  Accessories such as a camera n' stuff too!  It all works pretty good, and I am pretty much up to speed with all of it. Looking to buy some hardware? Check this very cool page out!

• How to create your own homepage (by me):

1. Get a good html editor. Just as you use a word processor, you need to use a good "browser editor" that looks like a browser, but allows you to edit. I heartily recommend a version 4.7 or 4.6 of Netscape Composer because it has a familiar layout, and is not too busy...it is a very good editor (free). Not readily available in 2001, but I have a copy of it, and am using it to revise my old webpage.  Contact me if you really need it. But it does occasionally crash, so save often as you work!  Just click here and search the newest DOWNLOADS for your type of system.  Or you can get Microsoft's Front Page and learn how to use it.  The good thing about these editors is they let you "publish" to your website with an easy click of the mouse.

2. Gather images and graphics. You can take or "steal" most of the images (like pictures, buttons, lines, etc.) by simply surfing the net.  While surfing, you save images by right clicking your mouse button on the desired image or background (or wav or whatever) and save it. Go ahead, on this page if you right click on the background you'll see.

It's important to save your files in places where you can find them. For the novice, I suggest you create a New Folder (with Folders inside of them) and save your surfin' files with names that you can easily remember, so you they can be easily browsed. For example, on your C drive, make a New Folder "Webpage". In that folder make a New Folder, "Backgrounds". And another, "Images". Then when you surf the net, you would put this "cloud.jpg" background in the "Webpage-Backgrounds" folder. Two hints: save files in all small letters with no spaces.

Also another important aspect is to get the pictures or graphics you want to display ready...by hook or crook....get them digitized! Buy a scanner or send your pics to an Office Max or something....find a friend or search and locate someone who does it on the web or AOL. Just get it done!

If you need to modify any pictures (gif, jpg, bmp etc), like cropping or coloring, etc., I like Paint Shop Pro for simplicity.

3. Create your page on the browser, use links, image  inserts, font styles, etc. to snazz it up as you feel. Pull your images from your new folders. Save often when editing!

4. Find a web page provider. Somewhere, someone will have to host your web page. These days I am using a unique combination of places for webhosting and redirecting services.  I am using GoDaddy.com doteasy.com for a web host and godaddy.com for name registration (me=sbbrown.com) and for redirect service (redirecting sbbrown.com to doteasy.com website).  Between the two of them, they are hosting my website, registering and redirecting my name for about $80 for 4 years.  Not bad, huh?  I used to use free Geocities but they are now run by Yahoo, and put ads on their server

5. Copy all your files to your personal directory. Typically, "index.htm" or "index.html" is your actual "home" page, and micyou can put all your files and other pages in your personal directory. Once you figure out your home page address, try it make sure it works great, then send your new address off to me.

There are MORE LINKS-

• Within most of the images on my homepage edition #1 there are hidden links, some of them were at that time, my favorites ...you'll just have to click on images 'em to find them all, there are some way cool ones there.
• Heck, if I haven't taken enough of your precious time already, you can even check out my original (like really old - a lot may be defunct, but hey you may find some interesting stuff) bookmarks collection!   Or howz about a mess o' links at beaucoup.com?
• Can you find my "Underworld Leisure Center" and its weird links (hint: you'll have to find it from my main home page)?

Hey, found a cool link that gives you a map of where ever...here's where I live in Scottsdale:
