Airman First Class Joseph Bongaarts, my younger brother by a year, who is in the U.S. Air Force, stationed at Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas, Nevada. But since he has his own home page, I'll not drone on further here.

- Joe and his trusty A10

- Joe just being his studly self
My dad, Alan (left), out sailing
My brother John. His necklace/pendant thingy says simply, "me". Well, not really. He claims it's a Virgo pendant (since that's his Zodiacal sign). He plays bass and guitar in a couple of high school bands.
John and Jessica at Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas
The Bongaarts Kids
Fort Snelling, Minnesota, circa 1980. From left to right, it's Joe, me, and cousin Tim.
A bunch of friends and relatives. See if you can find me, Joe, John, and Jessica!
Eric Burnett (Lightnng on IRC), one of my former roommates, who also has a home page.
Ken Reily (Divebomb), who has his own web page
Scott Feltmann (PonyBoy), who has his own home page too.
Nate Stockwell, who had a nearly-unionized role in the Clerks sequel, Mallrats, which was filmed at the Eden Prarie Center mall here in Minnesota. We used to hang out there on occasion, since it was biking distance from my house at the time.
A bunch of friends from IRC, December 1996. That's me on the left, in a jacket that makes me look HYUGE.

A screen shot of me on IRC, as requested by Infidel (Note: I don't usually IRC from a Mac...)
My neato-keen belt buckle - a genuine GM seat belt! :) I can also be identified via my trademark rainbow shoelaces.
Buttons on my shirt cuffs
A floppy disk
Macintosh SE
Another view of the above Mac SE
My wristwatch, an indestructable $5 Casio. I don't get why people get all giddy over Rolex watches and the like; after all, what good is a pretty watch that breaks if you so much as sneeze on it? I've had this one for probably about 10 years now. Seriously!
