In the summer of 2005 I built a deck. This was a bit larger in scope than the shed. and a heck of a lot more work.

In the summer of 2002 I built a shed in which to store all our outdoor junk. It was my first building project, a lot of work, but turned out quite rewarding. The final cost (minus tools) was about the same cost as your typical crappy 2x2 Lowes or Home Depot shed.

Normally we open our gifts early, then pack up and drive over to the Braner's house for a day of forced family fun. However, due to Shelby's illness, we spend the holiday alone.

The first batch of beer is done fermenting, time to rack (move from one fermenting vessel into another).

A quick and dirty guide for using MPlayer to "backup" a dvd movie to a lower quality avi.

Shelby of course (well, it does tend to alternate between me and her...) and on Christmas Eve as well.

And all this for free with no monthly fee, Wow!
I've gotten all these features to work with the exception of gaming and teleconferencing. With all these features it's not a simple program to install, but it sure is a rewarding project.

Just a nerdy :) dual-screen desktop photo.

This was an impulse visit to Franco's, a local Italian restaurant in downtown Dayton.
