Ramblings! I’ll tell you what I don’t know, and so much more.

  • Frosty Transformer

    Around the beginning of November we had a strange weather system come through the region. It was mostly fog and the temperature was just low enough to have it form ice crystals on everything. As the icey crystals grew, it started to snap the electric lines from the weight. Our power was out off and…

  • The Word in WordPress and The New Look

      I’m quite bias.  WordPress is the only platform that I’m using right now for website development.  I’m not actually familiar with the others (Joomla, Drupal, etc, etc..).  WordPress is now the number one web cms technology.  But, with greatness comes the people who love to hate successful things/people.  Every time I find a wordpress…

I think part of the reason is power tools.  If you jumped back 100 years,…
