Decided to give the ol’ site a little facelift since moving to Google’s dedicated servers. I must admit I was a little afraid of change but what the hey, sometimes it’s nice to move things around.

Since Blogger is forcing their “heritage users” to migrate to their blogspot site, I’m a migrating my web page…but unfortunately I’ve run into a few issues that will take some ironing out. All of the links have been broken and I’m working on a solution. Stay tuned.
