Here is the place where I have provided links to all the different websites that I have created and maintain under the watermelon-kid.com domain, each one reflecting my various interests, hobbies, and pastimes. That picture above is me, age four, enjoying a watermelon slice on a hot summer day. It inspired the domain name I chose more than two decades ago.

None of these websites have "cookies." None gather personal data about you. None contain advertising, though some do offer merchandise, created by me, for sale, mostly books.
