I recently got it into my head to migrate to AWS and Gallery3. As part of the migration to Gallery3 I stupidly converted all of my image resize versions to 640x480. This is pathetically small but only took overnight on the web server under my desk. With everything now on

I spent my Mandatory PTO / New Years in Vail, Colorado. I really wish the snow could have been better - but the front side of the mountain was open and it was an awesome time! The place is huge. I went with Pete, Kenneth, Paul Harvin, Pete's friend Brandon,

I'm pretty frickin excited about some upcoming shows. I haven't yet bought tickets because I think I'm the only one that expresses any excitement. I'd prefer to drag someone along with me so here is my sell: Menomena - Thursday, October 7th @ 8PM

This past weekend I went up to Buffalo for Don and Tiffany's wedding. You can find some great pictures of the wedding here: I drove the Z up on Thursday to stop by and have dinner with my dad, and to go see Jaime. That's an
