Intro
Ahlan wa Sahlan!
This is a place where you can get to know me a little better. I'll start off with some static content, but maybe one day we can move on to some dynamic photo album publishing to make things interesting. I'd gladly receive a donated copy of iLife '06 with subscribable web albums.
So what's it all about?
I thought I'd give you the opportunity to hear about some of the things I like doing. Some things that make me excited, you know the stuff that makes me tick.
Towards the end I'll post some pics to keep the other hemisphere firing. It's easier to update my blog with my ramblings then maintaining this page, so I'll try to put updates there regularly.
