I have been involved in the WordPress community for about 6-7 years, and I’ve always been impressed with the people that I’ve met. Coming from a .NET programming background, the WordPress community could not have been more different. I’m not bashing on .NET, it’s just that with the advent of social media, specifically Twitter, I’ve …

Help My Wife Fight Cancer
I apologize – only to a certain extent – for the click-bait of that title. To clarify, my wife, Nancy, does not have cancer. She is helping fight children’s cancers. At this point, I will pretty much do anything in order to help my wife make her goal of $10,000 all in support of the …
The Shirt Stay Incident
When I was stationed in Maryland back in 96-99, I would sometimes have to report for duty up at Ft Meade, MD. Due to the high profile of my duty station at the time, Commander, Naval Security Group, I was required to wear my dress uniform more often than not. I had no problem wearing …
My Movember, 2012

My Religious Beliefs
They may not sit well with you. Or you over there. Yeah, you. Organized religion kills I do not like organized religion. This does not mean that I am not a Christian, or that I do not believe in God or that Jesus is my personal savior. It simply means that I do not like …
WordCamp San Francisco – A Conference That Changed My Brain
Here I am at home, near Baltimore, MD, blasting some metal music (Machine Head & Trivium, just in case you were wondering, @jarret) while typing this, and I really can’t get this shit-eating-grin off my face.

Boating on the Bay
Nancy and I finally bit the bullet and took our boat out on the Chesapeake Bay. This is kind of a big deal because, well, our boat is pretty small compared to the behemoths out there. We have a 16 foot Tracker bass boat with a 65 horsepower outboard. We bought the boat this April …
