Site Overhaul

As some of you may have noticed the site has been going through a lot of changes lately. Recently I added a custom programmed blog component to the front page, and converted almost the entire site over to .php from .html. Just last night I changed the color/format layout of nearly the entire site. The changes that were made provide a more appealing look, and will also allow for more simplistic site enhancement/maintenance. Lots more coming very soon, as I'm loving php. Finally able to put all my years of coding experience to some use for myself. Feel free to let me know what your thoughts are about the new changes.

Kitty Scratch

I came home from work today and was resting my arm on the back of the couch, when Darci's humongous cat tried to jump up onto the back of the couch. It didn't jump high enough, so he dug his claws into the couch in an attempt to pull himself up. However his claws missed the couch and instead they dug into my pinky finger. Unfortunately for me, my flesh isn't strong enough to hold up a 30lb cat. As a result I was severely wounded:

Feel free to send me your sympathies and buy me a drink next time we're out. Ouch! On a side note, you wouldn't believe how difficult it is to actually photograph your own hand. Every picture I took was either blurry or off center. 15 pics later I finally got a keeper.

I also mocked up this wanted poster to because it's funny. Although Darci doesn't really see the humor in it. Maybe that just makes it more funny?

Secular Christmas

It's nearly Christmas time, as reportedly celebrated by 86% of Americans*. I've had a personal moral dilemna over this holiday for years, based an upbringing that is strictly against it due to the holidays origins. Regardless of what the holiday's religious connections or tainted origins are, it has since become a secular holiday for 24% of Americans*. It's about the excuse to have time off from work to spend with family/friends and join in a comradery of thanks and appreciation. Gifts are exchanged, meals are eaten, and love is shared. I don't find anything particularly wrong with those ideals. So I think I've finally come to terms with this holiday and have chosen to celebrate and express my feelings to others during this holiday season in the cause of a natural celebration, the Winter Solstice. I think the winter solstice is a better term for the holiday season for us secular celebrating folks. So this season I hope you all have a

Very Merry Winter Solstice!

For those of you that will be exchanging "winter solstice" presents with me, and need a few suggestions, take a look at my wish list. And make sure to wrap all my presents in Geeky Wrapping Paper. I also put together a wish list for Logan.
