Tough Geek Love
Earlier today, someone on a help forum said that I had shown them tough love. I don’t deny it. After all, they were trying to do something very simple in a very complicated way.

My Photography Background
A long time ago, I became very interested in photography. But I didn’t really get involved with it very much until college.

And that is that…
For the first time in a long time, I didn’t bring any work home with me this weekend. I’m just beat and I needed a break, so I took one. This is what happened. Saturday, I went to the music store and spent money I didn’t have on a book of bass chords and another …read more…

For the past ten years or so, I’ve always used my own index.htm file as the homepage for all my browsers, adding to it the links I visit the most. Over the years I added and deleted links, and occasionally tweaked the css, but for the past few years, it’s been pretty static. I recently …read more…
