the coolest nerd

When I started this site, I didn’t really expect it to last long. Never mind over a year. I didn’t even intend for this site to be in blog format! At first, I was simply going to use this site to publish photos — and use it as a repository for bookmarks, so I could have access to the same ones no matter what computer I was at.

Working on this blog has motivated me to launch several other sites over the last year or two. I’ll touch on those sites in a future post, but needless to say I’ve learned a lot by working on them all. This isn’t my first site though — I did find a copy of my first homepage circa 1998. It is pretty embarrassing how poor the design was and sad how much of the things I wrote about myself hasn’t changed a whole lot since then. I’ll republish it one day.

I realize that my site is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things, and I never intended for it to spread as far as it has. Over the past year, I’ve been averaging 543 unique visitors per month, with visits from every continent! I’m not sure exactly who is looking at the site, and I wonder how they’ve landed here if we haven’t met. Leave a comment and let me know how you found me! (Motivate me to update more often!)

I guess updating my site infrequently has dropped my visitor count.. (-_-)

Busy month. Not a whole lot going on but it sure seems like it from the photos. I’ve finally gotten around to finishing the gallery for November, which gives you easy access to many funny photographs.

Sorry for not updating as often lately, I haven’t been feeling myself lately. I’l get back into it soon, I hope.

Happy Birthday to Eldo, Ryan, and Young — next week Jared too. Feast after feast, dessert after dessert, everything was delicious and I can’t wait for the next set of birthdays. (^_^) On what other days do you get treated like a king? Get to kill a pinata? Or eat packed fudge? (o_O);;

Just who’s birthday is it? At least Young gets to cop a feel..

I’ve always wanted to present someone with one of these fancy giant checks..

I’ve been lazy and tired lately so I haven’t kept up with the site — nor have I been taking many pictures, unfortunately. Here’s a gallery of the last couple month’s fun. I haven’t been doing much lately but there are some great shots if I do say so myself. (^_-)

It’s not often you get to pet an alligator, see what you missed @ the academy?
