Where have I been?

I have been busy on many projects recently. What is great is I am ready to share them and the new things I’ve learned with Thesis and WordPress. My two most recent projects made me push my personal envelope of what I thought was possible within the WordPress/Thesis environment. Not that I’ve ever had any [...]

Time to Reflect. You’re soaking in it.

April 1, 2010

In today’s information overloaded, fast paced, digital lifestyle there can be little opportunity to pause and reflect.

New headset.

February 6, 2009

I have a new headset (thanks Kristin!).  And I finally took some time to recite the hours of text into NaturallySpeaking.  So that I can sit with my headset, and now type out what I’m saying is I’m doing right now.  The beauty of this is that there are small typos and errors in the [...]
