I'm a teacher, writer, musician, father of three creative young men, and husband to a librarian. Cool, right? My teaching 'home' has long been the National Writing Project. I blog (we still do that, right?) at https://dogtraxwrites.com/

@brianmoore.com Hi Brian. I've been using the Internet Phone Book to slowly, over time, explore different Indie Web sites, as a reminder to myself about the creative culture still out there in the far corners of the Internet. I enjoyed your site. Thank you.

@avibagla.com Hi Avi. I spent some time exploring your website of quirky projects as part of my own personal inquiry into Indie Websites via the Internet Phone Book. I had a fun time with your projects. Cows Love Jazz! You know it. Thank you for making and sharing. dogtraxwrites.com/internetphon...

"Loveliheads" is word a friend uses all the time as a word of kindness to family and friends. Now it can come off the Bluesky Dictionary's unused word list. I'll have to let her know. www.avibagla.com/blueskydicti...

@joodaloop.com Hi Judah -- I am on a slow explore of various indie websites listed in the Internet Phone Book project (I have a bound copy) and I spent some time at your site this morning, wandering around. I enjoyed my visit, and thought I would let you know.
