I think I’ve posted before with the “long time no see” title, which tells you that too often I don’t have time to post here like I’d like to. So ist das Leben.
So here I am, with plenty to say, and a brand new design to the site. Hopefully things will start rolling along with my design ambitions, my blogging ambitions, and our local community.

So please get comfy, grab a coffee, and stay for awhile.
I’d appreciate comments on the new design, and any comments or suggestions in terms of content and/or navigation.

It’s on the way folks.  I’ve been "cranking" on a new design (not really…) which should be live sometime next week.  I’m having a lot of problems getting things to look precisely the way I want them to, and am at this point unwilling to out-source the project to India.
Anyway, I’m playing with some colors and new design techniques, and will hopefully have something live soon. 
Again, sorry I haven’t been so chatty here recently, but I’ve been spending my time in the dialysis chair trying to get my chops up to speed concerning standards-compliant CSS.
