A Little About Me

I've been writing software for over 25 years now in a variety of languages. My experience runs the gamut but is mostly rooted in UNIX-based platforms. More recently, I've taken up implementing websites using modern CMS systems such as WordPress and Drupal. I write plugins, style extensively with CSS, and fix bugs. My personal interests include photography, competitive swimming, agility training, and of course -- my dog!

For Hire

My skill set is strong and I'm always looking for a new challenge. I love to solve problems and am often called in to get projects back on track. Contact me and let's talk!

Happy Monday!

While Dev does not approve of this video, I happen to find it quite humorous. This would be the ultimate tease for any dog!

Happy Monday!

The bond between man and dog goes back millenia. We find companionship, friendship and more when we open our hearts to dogs. The story in the video is about a bond between a soldier in Afghanistan and 3 homeless dogs. The bond between them was so strong that these dogs risked their lives to save that of 50 soldiers. Definitely a story to be shared and perhaps warm your heart if even just for a moment.

I stumbled upon the most amazing website. Nick Risinger of Seattle has stitched together some 37,000 photos of the night sky to create an interactive, 360 degree panorama of the night sky. In this modern age where people feel the need to have lights on at night, there are few places where one can truly enjoy the night sky. In Nick’s quest to find dark sky to photograph, he traveled over 60,000 miles across the Western United States and South Africa.

You can find the interactive, zoomable map at http://media.skysurvey.org/interactive360/index.html and a nice article about Nick’s adventure on the Wired Magazine website.

Happy Monday …. and Happy (belated) Mother’s Day!

I so love this following video. I remember growing up, I swore that I’d never be like my mom and yet…. here I am with kids of my own and guess what???? Yes I say and do those same things my mother did when I was growing up. I guess that’s what it means to be a mom. We love our children so much that we want them to learn to love and respect themselves and those around them. Thank you mom.

So I’m sure many of you have already seen this video but I just couldn’t help myself. Who can’t resist a laughing baby? Certainly not me!
