Obsessions

Sad, or What?

This page was going to be called "Links" (because that's what it mainly consists of, and that's what everyone else calls their links page). However, after much consideration, it was decided that such a simple word didn't really give the true flavour of a life spent in front of a screen attached to an ADSL connection. Anyway, here are a few more places for you to explore at your leisure. I've categorised them roughly as follows:

Art
Signs and Symbols
Music
Software
Information
Miscellaneous

I need hardly add that Jonathan Pinnock and Associates are not responsible for the content of any external site. In fact, if the truth were told, there are probably parts of this site that we'd rather not be responsible for.

Art etc.
