- Father Son Project Quadcycle Complete!
-
Well - it took just over a year, but this build was more about the journey than the destination. The idea was to build something together to both spend time in the garage and learn basic hand and power tool use.

- ExpressionEngine Certification Program
-
I’m pleased to announce that – along with the help of EllisLab – I’ve begun the groundwork of putting together a certification program for ExpressionEngine. The work is still in the early stages – but as it will be the focus of my involvement in some other upcoming EE events I needed to get it announced.

- Startup Weekend West Michigan Wrapup
-
Looking at the clock as I write this it’s been right around 24 hours since we finished emptying trash, packing up, turning off the lights and locking the door on Startup Weekend West Michigan.
I needed that time to catch up on sleep, re-connect with my family, and just sort of let the experience sink in before I could begin to gather my thoughts for this post.
Even now I can’t quite figure out how to summarize, analyze or synthesize anything out of the weekend because all I keep doing is shaking my head and wondering - “Did that all really happen? And in roughly 48 hours?” Amazing!

- Our Digital Heritage: Blessing or Burden?
-
What you see above is the scanned-in image of a postcard mailed by my grandparents to one of my grandmother’s sisters while they were traveling in 1957 (interesting to note the lack of a house address or zip code). I scanned it in because it’s one of the few samples I have of my grandmother’s “voice” and handwriting and I wanted my kids to be able to see it. Scanning it was a great way to both preserve it, back it up, and not have to worry about storing the physical postcard.
