• October 2, 2008 • Projects • 1 comments
If you’ve been following my blog over the past few years, you might remember an old project I was working on back in early 2005 called Tarzan.

Visiting Chicago
• July 17, 2008 • Personal • No comments
I’m visiting my best friend Eric in Chicago this weekend. I’ve never been to Chicago before, but I must say that the few blocks of downtown that I’ve seen are simply breathtaking.

• January 28, 2008 • Political • No comments
I was born and raised a fundamentalist Christian Republican.
