King of the Lanes I am not. Perhaps it is from growing up on duckpin bowling, but I rarely break a 60.

Last summer I made my self a little illustration project to digitally sketch a nice brownie camera. I was pleased with it so I went on and made a second. From that second I decided to make myself a background, which I am now sharing with you. I hope you like it!
I created this site over two years ago when I graduated from Marietta College as an undergrad with passable web knowledge. Due to my personal explorations regarding HTML, CSS and PHP, I have come to discover that my knowledge far outstrips what my site demonstrates. So in the next few weeks I will be redesigning and restructuring my site.
Don’t be alarmed if the next time you come here things look a bit different.
I’ve just begun participating in what maybe the most addictive game-fourm hybrid on the Internet, MacHeist. Essentially, Mac fanatics can test their puzzle cracking skills and chat with other Mac users all the while earning licenses to some great Mac applications.
As much as I love working through a thought-provoking mental maze, I think what has been most enjoyable and useful so far is the conversations with other Mac users and the variety of advice put forth.
Best tip so far: Download Caffeine
Caffeine is a nice little app that keeps your Mac from automatically falling asleep or dimming. I have found this quite useful for getting my TV online fix, so Mac users, go check it out.
As mentioned before, I have an iPod Touch. Since I use it practically everywhere, I wanted a nice sturdy case to protect it while in transit, via my pocket, a purse or backpack. A simple Google search brings up oodles of shoddy plastic techinicolored containers that offer minimal style and functionality for far more than I was willing to pay.
So I took a cue from crafty site and sought out information on hollowing a book:

I’m rather pleased with how it turned out, click the image to view larger:
