Tysto’s vision
Tysto is an online magazine of analysis, opinion, editoria, satire, ephemera, and miscellany that attempts to put events and phenomena in perspective with quiet determination.
Tysto’s origin
Tysto was born in a trunk; its mama died and its daddy got drunk. It was named for the Swedish word for "shh." When it was a teenager, it was bitten by a radioactive spider and developed superhuman powers. It attended classes at Purdue University, where it acquired a degree in sarcasm with a minor in philosophy. Then it went to work at a large technology firm, where it was beaten daily and fed on table scraps and wood chips until it escaped onto the World Wide Web on March 7, 2004.

Laverne’s horoscope
Laverne is a nice lady and former coworker who occasionally mentioned her horoscope, so we created a horoscope just for her. It changes every time the page loads, so, if you don't like the horoscope you get at first, just reload the page.
Laverne doesn't write the horoscopes, of course. They are written by Mark Beckstrom and Derek Jensen.

Saucy-mouthed C++ programmer; libertarian... leaning liberal.
Libertarian-inclined realist backwoods network technician.

Movie consultant and Javascript guru.
* note
The term "staff" is not meant to imply an hourly or salaried status or paid status of any kind. Forward-looking statements are predictions to the best of the ability of the publisher. E pluribus unum. Ad infinitem. Rock and roll.
