I've moved out of high-tech and gone back to an old love,
Blacksmithing.

I can still be talked into doing Photoshop work,
but it's going to have to fit into my responsibilities at my new job as the instructor at:
Prospect Hill Forge:
The Blacksmithing Classroom

There's new stuff under Rants and Musings
Latest update to this page: 

Here's a snowball fight game

(I'm told the sound effects are very catchy)

A piece I worked on (as sole programmer) in 2001 was nominated for the MIMC awards and made it to finals. The product was Click-On! an ESL CD aimed at Brasil, Peru, and the Far East. The major challenge was the lack of a common native language among the users.
The technological feat was causing the tool to assemble spoken words into sentences on the fly according to excercises that were composed with a fair degree of randomness.

This site is constantly under construction. If a link doesn't work, give me a few minutes then re-load and try again, I'm probably in the middle of changing something.

Wondering what to get me for Christmas or my Birthday or 'cause y'just like me so darn much ?
I've been putting together a list as I come across things that are of interest.

Zero Tolerance means zero thought, zero responsibility.
 
It is an abrogation of authority to rely on such rules.

Good joke: Zero Tolerance: Then and Now
