About this site

This site is a soapbox, an ideas platform, a scratch pad and link dump. A place to contribute back to the Internet (capital "I"), for all those times when Google fails in finding an answer and someone should write it down. It's for all those times when everyone else is putting in their two cents worth, and another opinion could help / hinder / anger. It's for posting things I've found, seen, or heard.

This site is also increasingly becoming a place to share my photography, and the stories behind the photos.
