Tahlorns' Page of Many Wonders

Welcome to my web site. I am new to making web pages, so this site will be constantly under construction.
This site will mainly be about my interests and hobbies, and links to some rather cool/fun sites.
Actually, the main reason I am putting together this page is to give me something to do with my spare time,
and be able to post pictures that I want to share with certain people, and so if you are viewing this site,
you are most likely one of those people.



 













Here is a list of sections that I will be working on for this site. Click on the thumbnails for a larger version of the picture.
 

Medieval Crafts/Construction- An interesting pastime of mine. I have made a coif, a vest, and a few other strange items out of chain mail. The section for how to construct chainmail is now posted, but it still needs a little work to make it more comprehensible. Also, I have made a couple trebuchets, a catapult that uses a counter-weight system. I would have pictures of that too, but all I have none ATM. My 6.5 foot tall treb that I used to throw small pumpkins and water balloons (range of 180 feet) is disassembled, so I can't take a shot of that, but my 2.5 foot tall one that I use to throw golf balls (range of 80 feet) is still an option (not as impressive, but still looks cool).
 

CATS & Operas- I am really into operas and other theatrical performances, so I thought I may as well put a section about it here. It will mostly consist of links to the different local opera companies, including the grand Shakespeare Santa Cruz. There will also be a large section for the musical CATS, a wonderful musical that I have only recently been fully conscious of. I will have several links to different CATS related sites.

Sports- My many sports/activities that I participate in, including archery, fencing, volleyball, golf, and tennis, just to name a few. I might put in a little section about dancing (swing, waltz, and some other ballroom stuff), another interest of mine that is developing. I also am into cards, be it building houses with them, throwing them, or just playing a good game of poker (being able to count cards is very useful, yet another skill that I am working on being good at).
 

RPG/LARP- Role Playing Games / Live Action Role Playing. This includes Warhammer (Fantasy and 40K), D&D, different CCGs, and Amtgard.

Photography/Art- I am rather new to photography, taking a class at my school, and I am loving every minute of it! The only downside of it is that I now permanently smell of developer and fixer.  The work of mine that I feel is worthy to be displayed shall be done so here. I have some of my work on someone else's web site, click here to go to the page! I am not much of an artist(I couldn't draw if my life depended on it), but I am into doing computer graphics. I am taking a class, and I will post images of what I have done here if it turns out well. I made a TIE Fighter a while ago on Ray Dream Studio, I still have a bit of work to do on it.
 

Events- This will be mainly pictures of different things that are happening currently, so pictures will always be being added. The first entry here will be pics from First Night Santa Cruz, which as of now is up and running. They are just of me and Katie (screen name Shadow, keep your paws off of her, she's mine! I caught her fair and square!), not of the action that took place there, none of those pictures came out too well anyway. I got a great picture of me taken on the last day of the first semester at my school, take a look if you wish.
 
 

Questions? Comments? Well, too bad.
