I just wanted to say, coming from a digital SLR user like myself, I never thought I would actually have a good use for and appreciate the quality of a camera-phone camera. For the most part, the digital cameras built into mobile phones have, for me, always been relegated to taking stupid snaps of people […]

However, I ended up using one outside, mounted under the eve of my garage. The only problems I’ve seen with using the […]

For just about as long as I can remember, I’ve worked for myself doing my own thing. Things really started out with a company called The Guild Inc., a dial-up access company back when dial-up was cool and 28.8k modems ruled the day.

I don’t know exactly where he got it or how he ended up with it, but long ago my dad bought an Invacar. I drove it around town when I was 17… almost 15 years ago. Today I splurged a bit and wasted some precious cash to buy the car from my dad. Compared to […]

A couple days ago, I started my new job as Director of IT at Outback Power Systems, Inc. (www.outbackpower.com). I have to say it’s the first time I’ve stepped directly into a management roll, aside from starting my own company I suppose 😉 Outback is just the kind of company I wanted to be involved […]
