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.. (-_-)
One of the things I like to do when I’m bored is to search Google Images with my name, to see if anything funny or interesting shows up. It’s also interesting to see what it picks up that is actually one of my photos, and not one of those impostors with my name. (^_^);; Currently, there are two. A photo of Stan playing patty-cake, and a photo on frappr of me with Jacinta, Young, and Stephanie. Try it with your name and see if anything comes up. It’s a good way to pass some time.
If you’ve known me for any length of time over say, one week. You’d know by now that cheese is my number one hated ingredient, seasoning, or food. I’ve gone so far as to start an unofficial no-cheese club. We currently have four members, should you feel this way too, you should join us in our cause. Down with cheese! — This is why I find it amusing that the top image found under my name is a cheesy dish. Gross! (-_-);;
