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 site, 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 story starts back in 1999, so it may take awhile to catch up to the present journal entries.

Just for Fun Dogpatch Seconds Calculators (When is your billionth birthsecond?) This site 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, among other things.
