This is my website, Carbon-izer. It will basically have what I want to be on there, because it's my site. This is kind of meant to be the site I always wanted to run (accounting for changing tastes and accessibility), so the HTML may be crude sometimes. I hope to consolidate various endeavors of mine over the years into one cohesive website, so these listings will always be in flux. In any case, enjoy what I have to offer. You can contact me through the email listed in the blogs.

Blogs

Carbon-izer - See the main blog of the site, which chronicles updates and other things. (Reading it will explain the picture)


 

Safeway and Albertsons in Texas - One of the newest blogs, this focuses on the old, new, and current Texas stores that make up the modern Albertsons company. This includes things like AppleTree, Randalls, and Tom Thumb too.


 

Brazos Buildings & Businesses - Running from 2010 to December 2014, this blog chronicled the history of Bryan and College Station through photos, advertisements, and personal stories of places gone by.


On the Road

Northwest Freeway - Originally created as a chronicle for demolitions along the way, this documents the history of the Northwest Freeway corridor (the businesses along the way). The thumb is derived from a photo on West Houston Archives.


 

In Search of a Mansard Roof McDonald's - I searched for, and found, one of the rapidly-disappearing unaltered "mansard roof" McDonald's restaurants.


Other Cool Stuff

 Former Fast Foods of Texas - An ongoing project to chronicle both chain fast foods and chain restaurants in Texas that have fallen by the wayside.


 

 The Games Index - Reviews and other stuff.


 

 Splashtown Tribute - This was a page I created a long time ago (fall 2009) about the history of Splashtown in Spring, TX. It's obviously out of date and I don't have plans to update it, but it's here anyway.


 

Old Roads of Brazos County - Originally part of Brazos Buildings & Businesses, I hope to someday expand this a bit more to cover old Highway 6.


Miscellany

Nintendo Power Index - A mirrored version of an old resource for looking up games info from issues of Nintendo Power. I think I stalled out on this one because I wanted to do some extensive updates. Keep in mind that this page has virtually no cleanup and is very, very beta right now.


 

Former Kmart Stores - A list of old Kmart stores in Texas that have since closed. This was another of my old projects. (Last updated March 2014)


 

Blobbo FAQ - A mirrored version of a FAQ for an old classic Mac game. Can you believe no one's found the full version yet?


For best results, please find and install the font "Chicago", the old Macintosh font, and no knockoffs either. Unless you're using an iPod or something, it will work on your system provided you find it and convert it properly.
