Expand & Contract
A feature of some pages Electricka's web site that makes it possible for you to see or hide information
on a page. It is called Expand & Contract because, when you invoke it, the feature adds
formerly hidden information to the initially visible portions of the page.
Thus it expands and amplifies what the initially visible portions
have to say. You may also contract or hide a portion of the page that
you previously expanded. The Expand & Contract feature also goes by the names
twistie and dropdown.

Geek
Electricka's consort, Geek takes his name from his computer proclivities. Isn't that about what you'd
expect from the consort of The Muse of the WorldWide Web©?
Please don't confuse Electricka's Geek with the carnival performer
whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a
live chicken.
No, Electricka's Geek is closer to the other kind of geek,
the odd or ridiculous person, a fool.
