I’ve decided to switch this up to a tumbleog since it’s more conducive to how I do things.

Anything that I put together that has some weight behind it (# of words, not my belly), I will put on a page and you can get to it in the menu at the top.

This is my first Wordpress theme. I used Color Schemer to come up with a color scheme and Photoshop for all the backgrounds. Special thanks to Everaldo for his work on the Crystal icons, Mark James for the ever-present famfamfam icons, the Tango Desktop Project and Wolfgang Bartelme for his wonderful style that I just can’t stop imitating. I stand on your shoulders gentlemen. Without you this would be all black and white in Times…blech.
