I’m a bit old school. Before the days of the internet I used BBS systems to connect to other people via computer. Once the internet changed things, I latched onto html and have been writing web pages in nothing but html since the mid 1990s. I like basic html for its simplicity and the clean web pages it generates (compared to some of the cluttered messes that I see from the fancier programs). 

I’ve never been a fan of the blog. Blogs are usually a mess, hard to navigate, and frequently have miles of text and tiny graphics on a single page. Yuck! So, when I decided to finally create a blog, I wanted something better.

Hopefully, you will find this blog to be a cut (or two) above the rest.
