Alright, so I may be the only one laughing here, but I’m telling you, 90% of these are true. Just ask my wife when I go off on some diatribe about font selection at the mall… (Got this from crestock.com, I added #19) 1. You giggle whenever you use the colors F0CCED, EFF0FF and 44DDDD... Read More

My dad has been a PC guy as long as I can remember. And because he used to write security software for banks, he’d always have the cutting edge computer, and I’d get last year’s model. I was the only kid on the block who had a IBM PC Jr. Come to think of it,... Read More

I haven’t been writing much lately, and what little I have is drivel. That’s how you can tell my life is just fine; I only write well when I’m depressed, lonely or otherwise melancholic.

Our Christmas celebration this year spanned 3 full days. We spent Christmas Eve’s eve with Jessica’s parents, completely relaxed while making food, eating food and photographing food.
