The Vault Welcome to The Vault! I launched the original version of this website in 1996, and have kept it online ever since. Needless to say, I'm not the same person I was a couple of decades ago and not everything I published was exactly gold. While it was easy to leave some content up, and obvious that I needed to take some other content down... I was left with a third category. Stuff that was "just sort of okay." Well, this is that stuff. Stuff that's "just sort of fine." And frankly, since I haven't actually looked at some of this stuff in twenty years, a lot of it might be awful. But we should all own our past I guess.

Trae's Music This category is where you can find music I've produced and/or performed, usually under the name "Lt. Snorkel" (and previously with the band Happy Wednesday). This includes downloadable, full length albums. I haven't released anything in this category since, like, 2015 -- so don't expect too much. I keep meaning to release new stuff, but life is what it is. Also none of this is that good. [ More Information... ] Wicca and Paganism I have been a practicing Witch for over twenty years. In this section you will find various essays, writings, and possibly videos which talk about my own spiritual journey. [ More Information... ] The Craptacular World Over the last several years, I've found many sites that just plain piss me off. Many of these pages are bigoted... some are of people who are just plain stupid. I invite you to join me on this exploration of stupidity. [ More Information... ] Digital Obscuria I love old technology. This section is dedicated to a selected portion of my personal collection. Marvel at the 3DO, gasp at the X'Eye... cry at the Laser 128 parts... [ More Information... ] Weird DOS Software These are odd diversions into software production from my past, mostly ASCII based graphics, and the occasional funn. Again, you must heed the "Weird" in the title, right? [ More Information... ] Gatherings and Con Reports TRHOnline people are fun people, but most of us are scattered in different locations. Every once and a while though, we all get together and try to have some fun. [ More Information... ] Flipside Articles What you will find in this folder are various articles that I wrote for the UWEC on campus News Magazine, The Flip Side waaaay back in the day. Because of that, the nature of some articles will be in reference to local and long dead issues and news. As these will be slightly out of context date wise, I would recommend you stop by The Flip Side's Website ... but as it's down, I don't see how I could. Maybe it's back. I don't know. These articles are up for posterity more than anything else. [ More Information... ] Short Films and Funny Videos I used to post my videos to this site, and some of these are almost twenty years old. This is a random assortment of some of the videos that used to populate this site -- from random backyard concerts my friends threw, to the infamous "Squashing of America" videos where we went out on the streets of Eau Claire, WI and offered produce to drunks in the late 2000s. Some of these are terrible, some of these are funny. Some of these are unlisted on YouTube for a reason. Watch at your own risk. [ More Information... ]
