I’m not just tarting up the pig, a hefty collection of pig facts and cultural observations are amassing here.

Geocities Closes
In 1995 I became a Geocities homesteader. Pigs had been on my mind already for many years.

My mission was clear and the concept of “Porkopolis” was born.

He understood and accepted the destiny fated to all people and things in a disposable society. He went quietly, with honor and a grace that belied the full-throttled energy with which he had shared his life with me.
