    Filtering the page links

    Nothing is ever truly perfect. There are some things that do come close though. In the mean time we can make just a few changes to get our desired result. The photo above is a quick comparison of a photo I took a few years back while at Yosemite National Park. As you can see […]

  • Be friendly and filter your foot

    A brief glimpse of my WordPress.com hosted blog’s footer. I’ve had that thing for nearly six years. Yep, six years. A little hard to believe that I only have about eighty posts but it’s true. Part of that reason being me branching off and trying on a self hosted site. I wish I could tell […]

  • I will always be a novice

    I know it does sound funny to those that have known me for several years but that is how I view myself sometimes. I don’t mean that I am a beginner but I want to be one. I mean this in the most positive way I can think of. A few years ago I was […]
