Dogpatch home page  

Home page & site map for Dogpatch of the North websites. A somewhat odd collection of blogs and web pages managed by the somewhat odd Jerry DePyper

Blogs

My first blog, originally called 'Dogpatch of the North' . Grew from a simple Christmas newsy letter in December 2006 to a collection of my rantings on a variety of subjects, mostly matters of faith, philosophy, ideology and politics.  


My second blog site. The true story, based upon my spiral notebook journal, of my adventure in trying to live the plain, non-consumerist life. I presumptively compare it to the experience and writings of Thoreau. Due to a lack of readership and of my energy, this blog is incomplete and has been neglected for some time. 


My bilingual website has a snowball's chance of ever being a commercial success, but it's been a fun diversion nonetheless. Among other things, it includes the internet's best* Sudoku Analyzer, and a very accurate calculator.
*(in my humble opinion)

Strike website 

Pro-life strike site Launched in Jan. 2009 as an attempt to convoke a Pro-life tax strike (a citizens' movement to refuse abortion taxes). This site has been very infrequently visited, and even less frequently taken seriously.

Dogpatch Seconds Calculators (When is your billionth birthsecond?)  

This page contains javascript routines to calculate the seconds elapsed between two dates/times. It's mainly me teaching myself javascript, but there are some novel possibilities, such as: Calculate 1,000,000,000 seconds, and watch your personal birthsecond odometer roll over in real time.
