The big day is finally here! This afternoon I’m going to begin my long-awaited (for me, at least) makeover of this site. I’m hoping that it will be a relatively simple process, but we all know that when it comes to technology nothing is simple. My plan is to get the bulk of the work [...]
Sometimes I feel like I have the quietest readers in the blogosphere. I know you’re reading, but I rarely hear from you! Please feel free to comment or email me. I see this blog as a place for discussion and learning, but I can’t read your minds. If you’ve got questions, problems, ideas or things [...]
