Stuff I Like

In May 2024, POBox.com’s URL redirection for life is ending, so my web pages are moving to http://flash-sheridan.name.

Disclaimer: This is stuff that genuinely like, but I'm not claiming to be objective. Some of it is written by friends, and I may even be able to get kickbacks from Amazon. (Thanks to Glen Raphael for the idea.)
