I redid this site up a few years ago (it used to be in Classic ASP) when I was first playing around with C#. I don't do much with it and mainly maintain it for email purposes and to list photos of an occasional household item that I have for sale (saves ad fees). There is also a family area where family members can login and view secure photos of the kids (a photogallery built in Silverlight\.NET 3.5); however, my wife prefers facebook so its not really utilized.

I also built a private section for my wife to list her co-ops. She gets groups of people interested in getting good deals on items, like kids shoes or dehydrated foods, and buys them in huge quantities. If you are a friend or family then I can put you in touch with her and she can give you the full scoop. Usually you pay 1/3 to 1/2 of the retail price.

My hosting provider, who I pay $6 a month, keeps changing the server configurations on me which causes the site to go down a lot. The hosting providers mail server is also grey listed so the contact form doesn't always send. You get what you pay for I guess. If you wish to contact me then please don't do it through this site as your email will likely not reach me.


Eventually, I have plans to convert this site into a developers forum where I can post articles on various web technologies (ASP.NET, T4 templates, Entity Framework)...things that I have deep interests in. The big problem is time, I have 3 kids and work 45-50 hour weeks. Most of my personal time goes to family needs, working on the house, the cars or recumbent bicycling.

Thanks again for stopping by,
