I’m a happily married father of seven. I combat bad web design by day, and poopy diapers, dirty dishes, hungry children, and other stuff by night. Thankfully, I have a beautiful wife who makes it all worth it. Oh, and the kids. Yeah, they’re adorable.
A Singular Experience
All of us in the Gaggle enjoy reading together. When a great book is involved, it makes it even more fun.

My review of the Atrocity Archives, written by Charles Stross and narrated by Gideon Emery.
Love and Food

“You like me, you really like me!”
How do you follow-up a story like the last one? Seriously! I’ve been trying to wrap my brain around it. Why? For the first time, I broke 100 visitors on my site in one day! Now, that may seem like small peanuts to, well, everyone. But for me, for my personal blog site, that’s a [...]

Holy Crap! Where did November go?!
Well… we’ve reached, and passed, the halfway mark through this surprisingly warm month of November in the year of 2009. And while much has been accomplished already, very little of it is related to the activities I thought I’d try my hand at. As a reminder, you can always head back to the post I [...]
Games I Want To Play
