Today is 3/20/2020 and the namesake for this website, which is named for my birthday 🎂. Otherwise, I wish I had more to offer on this day. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I went ahead and redid my site for the millionth time, mainly because the original header (hero) was too data-heavy, and also not very interesting. Also, I wanted to clean up the look of the site, and improve its mobile presentation as well. The core of this site is a normalization and base HTML5 stylesheet, as well as a companion [...]

I've been dabbling with SketchBook Pro on my iPhone and iPad for over a year now. These are some samples I made on my phone (with my finger).

I guess I haven't posted here in a while. I don't have a lot to write about to update my blog on a regular basis. But anyway, I finally bought myself a new car, it's the first nice or even decent car I have ever owned and it's about time. It should be fun until the first snowfall that is. [...]
