Two years ago, it was Sunday. As per the usual Sunday tradition, I had been helping my mother clean out her rabbit cages; it was a task I had helped her with since I had left my job at the Department of Defense. In the winter prior, she had gone through some elective surgery which […]

Reflections On Deafness
I had intended to make this post back on February 11, but other things got in my way and I pushed it aside. Between working on my latest novel (easy) and updating my resume (hard), I haven’t given much consideration to maintaining at least a monthly post here. So, let’s get that out of the […]
Three Years
On January 20, 2017, I resigned from my job working for the United States Department of Defense. I had worked there for just over 6 years, having started at the end of September, 2010. It was the second real job I’d ever held in my life, the first time I truly started earning a living […]
Happy new year! And decade!

I had planned to at least try and make monthly updates at a minimum to this, but a quick look on my calendar shows that I missed out on September and October entirely! I’ve never been very good at tracking my progress, much less talking about it. I started a new novel in July and […]
Cartoons!
As a test of my image resizer, here is a cartoon from last month I did! Know your target(s) before you pull the trigger!
WordPress and image plugins
Prior to switching to WordPress, I had my own PHP based website linked to a database. I made the change from a custom design to WordPress for a variety of reasons, some of which I’m now doubting, but I’m trying to stick with it. That doesn’t help much in regard to certain things like image […]
