Rubbish
Many, many, many things are broken right now as I’m in the midst of a massive overhaul of this website. I believe that this might effect as many as 2 additional people – no worries.

Coming Soon…
It's been awhile. We're nearing the end of the house sale prep, and I'm starting to move on to getting a new version of my portfolio online. If anyone is in the market for a house in the York, PA area, get in touch! Continue reading

Excuse the mess…
Over time, I’m going to be moving my car related content over here. I never really intended that to be the only thing that I posted over here, it just sort of happened. But you haven’t posted anything in 6 months, and nobody even reads this thing?!?! Fair enough, this is a shameless attempt to get Google to spider my new domain.

My new car
I’ve been neglecting the blog thing in favor of spending my free time researching some of the quirks of my new ride. So far, it’s been a bit of an adventure. I found the poor thing for sale on ebay, and managed to snag it for a reasonable price. This past weekend Joel and I rented a U-haul + trailer and brought the thing home.

Instructables: Furnish your house on the cheap
I’m not sure that I can adequately explain just how much this amused me. If any of my IRL-type acquaintances are reading this, please for the love of god, don’t start dumping shopping carts off in the front lawn. Kim will not see the beauty of an entire house furnished in the contemporary urban hobo style. The wrench of damocles!

‘sIFR’, or ‘suffer’?
I tend to use the sIFR text library in my day to day work quite a lot. I would go so far as to say that out of the last 6 projects that I’ve worked on (note: I didn’t say ‘completed’, merely ‘worked on’… we all know that nothing gets finished around here), no less than 5 of them have included the sIFR library. I like sIFR a lot, but what I can’t stand is how flaky it is. One ... Read more
