Welcome.
Z.O.G. is a name I chose as it sounded vaguely like a Bulgarian secret police. For those of you who are familiar with Steve Jackson Games’ Illuminati this is probably funny. For the rest of you, fnord.
It is also, as I subsequently found out, an abbreviation for the Zionist Occupational Government, an early-1900s imaginary world Jewish banking conspiracy, on par with the Protocols of the Elders of Zion for antisemitism. And credibility. This from me, shabbes goy extraordinaire.
It is also the name of King Zog of Albania. I find Albania hilarious. And rutabagas. And Swiss men’s fashion.
This site is intended to be neither artistic nor informative, but rather as random and odd as I can manage for you, casual browser. You’ll find links and random stuff related to whatever I happen to find interesting at any given point in time. I am a dilettante, interested in old motorcycles, guns, classical music, jeet kune do, digital privacy and electronic rights, military history, cats, kendo/kenjutsu, graphic art, food, economics, sailboats, photography, abandoned buildings, travel, and astronomy. I’m not passionate about any of them, nor particularly good, just interested. As R. A. Heinlein wrote, specialization is for insects.
After all, what good is it having eclectic tastes if you can’t share them with people?

I’ve kept it simple and low-key, for your increased viewing pleasure–reading text is so much more mentally stimulating than watching hundreds of online images zip their way across the ether…
…so…
…very…
…quickly…
And I’m really lazy.
