And that's the way it was.
Maybe you heard, Walter Cronkite died this last Friday. Maybe you missed it as I did due to the endless Micheal Jackson…er..coverage. I was a huge fan of Walter Cronkite. I grew up watching him on the CBS nightly news. In the early 70s father used to teach ROTC at a near by high school. [...]
Spring cleaning!
Ok, I admit it; I am under conviction. I need to practice what I preach. I have been listening to Zack Arias critique websites, portfolios and images over the weekend and I feel I need to start being harder on myself. Zach made a really good point, a good image cannot make a bad image [...]
Wat Chaiyamangkalaran
I hate blogger. One of these days I am going to make the switch over to WordPress. But until I can figure out how to migrate all my old blog entries, I am hosed. Then again, if I get any more frustrated with blogger I might just count them as a loss and make the [...]

The Stock Jungle

Gallery Up and Running Again
I got this from the the folks at Evrium, the makers of my gallery software: Hi Matt, I hope you’re having a happy holiday season! Your website has been quickly fixed!

Web Gallery Down
My web gallery is down. Not sure why. I have not posted anything to the gallery for weeks, so I can’t imagine I did something to it. I contacted my host and they said, “Not our fault.” So I then contacted the folks that make the gallery software. I have yet to hear back from them. I [...]
