Welcome to my Blog

This is actually Version 4 of my blog. 

  • Version 1: Was hand coded posts on my original Website back in the early 90’s before the term Blog was even invented.

  • Version 3: Was on the three-Ninjas site
  • Version 4: (And hopefully final version) is here!

Enjoy!

There are some series of posts that go together. You can access them directly with the links below.
