If you’re reading this on LowGenius.Net, I’m sure you can see there have been lots of changes.  (Hint:  To see what it used to look like, click here.)  I’ve fixed the google ads and added a new version of the Amazon search box.  Obviously, I’ve got a new background graphic.  Equally obviously, I’ve got a ton of issues remaining to get this thing really looking sharp.  Among these: changing existing solid-color backgrounds to semi-transparent graphics eliminating or fixing curved box corners so they have proper transparency ...

A new site design, and an inadvertent frustrated rant about current life in my world [More]

I’m mostly recovered from the weekend.  Very busy, met some cool people though.  Adding to the list of beautiful women I’ve met is always a good thing…adding to the list of drunk obnoxious fratboys, not so much. Best tip of the Halloween holiday:  A thong, direct from the wearer.  Well, strangest tip anyway.  Maybe I can sell it in Japan… It was a pretty crappy party season for a lot of people, judging  by the ones who were in my cab.  Seemed like everyone Saturday had some kind of drama or trauma or bad night happening.  I did get a few good photos th...

I really hope people are checking out and digging my little travel diary/reminiscence thing and the photos.  I’m only just now getting into the mountains on my way out – there are dozens of pictures to share from NC to CA, in CA, and all the way back to MI.  I hope my “narration” has the intended effect of being entertaining and personalizing, rather than dull and tedious.  There are some really gorgeous photos going up, and more coming (of better quality, too…).  I might even work on some video of the trip tonight, if I have any captured. (Update – I do have plenty capped,... [More]

So let’s see…I’ve posted a few photos to the blog already.  I’ve also turned on Selective Twitter Status for FB.  Changed the front page of the site back to the “Home” page, although I changed the verbiage on it quite a bit and added a new graphic.  I’m going to try to get at least a few more pages of photos posted…it’s only been almost six months since I left NC, it’s about time.  Maybe I’ll get the ones of me and my daughter Amber and granddaughter Haleigh up before Haleigh graduates high school. In between doing things with the site and pictures, I’m polishing my resume... [More]

Shifted some things around and changed the graphics here at LowGenius.Net again.  Please let me know if you like them.  Please bite me if you don’t.  I’d also love to hear thoughts on other changes, including doing away with the ‘Home Page” (opting instead to display the 20 latest posts on the front page), stripping out some of the distracting verbiage from the menu on the right, and just generally trying to clean things up a bit and make it more habitable.  Plus I’ve successfully migrated to BlogEngine.Net 1.5, which introduces some tools and things I’ve not even begum to ...
