Reader's choice
The slight lack of posts means nothing of my love for you the readers of my site. Actually, it means quite the opposite. Although I'm not embarking on anymore paid freelance projects I have taken on some more personal projects including websites for friends and a couple sites that will help me separate some of the technology and Tacoma items from this site. I'll do my best keeping things fresh around here but I wanted to ask what you'd like me to write about? How to make good webpages? What it's been like being a home owner after one year? Why I don't smoke? What troubles me about the world? What my ideal gadget would be? What gets my blood boiling? Favorite food? Shows? Movies? Music?
Tell me, ask me, anything! I'm always open to suggestions and look forward to whatever you might come up with. Thanks and enjoy your day!

Photos ~ Former site of Tacoma's beautiful Mattson Mansion
Plenty of shock and surprise rippling around Tacoma and the local webosphere about the sudden and complete destruction of a beautful, historic mansion overlooking the Puget Sound. I stopped by tonight to grab some pics of the aftermath. I never got a good look at the place in-person but know it was an historic anchor in a beautiful part of town. Nothing except some cement basement walls is standing. The new owner had taken out rows of hedge, a stunning old greenhouse, and even a huge tree. For what -- a clean slate/lot and a view?! Money can certainly buy a lot but it cannot buy history. Much like the lessons left un-learned by some of the wealthy who currently run this nation, these arrogant inheritants know nothing of a hard days work and value little that which their money brings them.
Here are the depressing images I took of the lot where I presume a huge, new McMansion will tower guarded by some brand of cold, spear-topped walls.
