13. I am currently in a college computer lab having knocked together a rather ancient P100 to show that I could do it, install a NIC and connect to the Internet. That part worked OK. I am still trying to install a Soundblaster 16 card so it will make sound.

14. Jen, that reminds me of my oddest gig ever: playing the firewalk wedding of the daughter of some interesting friends of mine. (The bride and groom spent their wedding evening with their feet immersed in tubs of warm water. So did the rather sheepish "minister" guy, who also walked the coals.) Firewalking may be a genuine phenomenon, so many folks have told me, but I don't recommend combining it with the tension and expectations of a wedding ceremony.
