I want to apologize to all of my regular readers for the complete and utter lack of content here recently. I know that there aren't a ton of you, but I do appreciate those who have gone through the trouble to subscribe to my blog. If you have been paying attention to my Twitter stream, [...]
Hey, I just saw the incoming link from Blazer's Edge. Hello all you Blazers fans! I don't post much other than my ham radio geekery here, but I am a longtime Oregonian and Blazers fan. I had the pleasure of chatting with Ben via Twitter, and got him hooked on my other, much nerdier pastime. [...]
