The Floating Cat

Well it’s been almost a full year since I last blogged, and blog spam finally made me ditch my custom blogging solution for WordPress. I’ve had several WP versions installed hidden on my domain for a while, but I kept holding off until I “could make a custom theme”.

Jessica and I finally finished our backyard (and some frontyard) landscaping. Lots of brickwork, lots of concrete, lots of desert rock, and lots of late evenings after work. The final product is pretty amazing. I should have pictures and more details about it coming soon.
In website news, I’ve added an update section which keeps a log […]
