I'VE MOVED! From about 1998-2002, this was the one-stop, official headquarters for Josh Renaud on the Web. Nowadays my main site is at joshrenaud.com. There you'll find information about my skills as a print/web designer plus links to my various blogs.

I still maintain GrossWorld as a sort of archive of material relating to my high school and early college years.

GrossWorld was once home to "Petra Rocks My World!" a tribute to the exciting pioneer Christian rock band, Petra. But that page took on a life of its own and exists now as a separate website: petrarocksmyworld.com

At the left, you will find links to many different pages of this GrossWorld website that reflect my interests, my life, and my beliefs.

MOST RECENT UPDATES:

• See a small archive of ANSI advertisements I made during my years as a BBSer in the late 1990s.
• Read Politics Online Magazine", short-lived monthly political magazine distributed on St. Louis BBSes in 1994-95.
• Read the SRE Text Series, my sci-fi stories based on the BBS door/game "Solar Realms Elite."
• Find all 85 articles I wrote from 1998-2001 for The Current newspaper.
• See pictures from my trip to Israel in January 2001.

WHAT ABOUT THE NAME? Well, quite simply, GrossWorld refers to the "GrossWorld Publishing Company," which is one of the "companies" I came up with as a kid. Under that name, I would write lots of stories, and say they were published by "GrossWorld Publishing Company."

Just rest assured that GrossWorld is not gross. When I came up with the name, I was in second grade, so what do you expect? Now, things might be a little weird or out-of-the-ordinary, but you have my solemn word that nothing here is disgusting.
