I’m baaaaack!
Back to business, I’m back from Maui and slowly but surely getting back into blogging and getting some new bells and whistles together for the site. Stay tuned!

Long time, no blog?
Yes, I am still alive; and, I’m still interested in blogging! Unfortunately, time is the issue. With the wedding fast approaching, free time is at a minimum. I actually have a bunch of cool posts in the queue, but I just don’t have the time time to get them properly written up. So with one…

Music Newz
Just learned through my favorite news source, Fark, that Gene Simmons has new solo album coming out. A**hole hits the stories this Tuesday. Alleged guests and collaborators include Bob Dylan, and the entire Zappa family. More preview info here. What do you get when mix G’n’R with Stone Temple Pilots? Hmm, Velvet Revolver. A review…

Vonage Digital Phone
Since I don’t have nearly enough projects going at the moment, I thought I’d throw another into the mix; switching my verizon phone line to a Vonage digital setup. My cable modem provider, Time Warner Roadrunner, recently launched their own digital phone service, but they only offer one $39/month unlimited plan; that’s a little overkill…

PhotoBlogger Update
Messed around with my PhotoBlogger s’more this morning. Finished the WAP version of the POP3 client that scans a mailbox for new postings. With a little testing help from Opera (which renders WML with great debugger), it was pretty easy to get it up and running directly from the phone. Next, I put together a…

Say cheese!
In addition to my text blog, I’m trying to come up with a nifty photo blog. The kicker is that the pictures will come directly from my Nokia 6225i cell phone. IE, the phone has internet connectivity so I can basically mail pictures straight to my website without needing to use a computer. The glue…

flipped the switch…
Late last night (well late for me anyway), I turned on the home page making my site officially live. There’s still some loose ends to wrap up, but the site is pretty much together at this point. Feel free to drop me a comment via the blog or by email.
