I now have a blog.

Why?

I decided to clean up my sig. So I needed somewhere to put all the vaguely useful information that was in it. Here it is.

Several people have expressed surprise to hear that I do contract work - well, I do, and so does my company. That's why it says "Freelance Consultant" down there. Contact me for more information.
