Photo Album
The photo album is a collection of almost 20,000 digital photographs that I have taken since 2001.
Most of them are private, but some of the more interesting scenic or artistic ones are available to the public.
The project is written in node.js, AngularJS and bootstrap. (thanks to everyone at Geekwise Academy for providing some excellent classes!).

My wife and I enjoy the occasional weekend getaway in our little RV, and part of the experience is cooking on an open fire with a cast-iron skillet.
I don't pretend to be a good cook, but over the years we've documented some of our recipes on a personal blog (hosted on crocweb).

This small utility is something I threw together to quickly and easily move Steam games between libraries. Or, more specifically (and the reason I wrote it) to move games between an SSD and an HDD.
There's slightly more to it than simply moving the files, as the Steam catalog needs to be updated as well, but it serves it's purpose and I use it regularly.
Note: This utility is obsolete now that Steam provides a built-in way to move games between libraries.

I have written and published a couple of well-recieved articles over at the CodeProject.
The first of these was really nothing more than an exercise in theory: Writing a bubble sort using nothing more than windows batch files (not powershell!).
The second project was a component that replicated (and enhanced) the functionality of the Microsft Visual Studio "external tools" menu item, to allow C# developers to easily provide this functionality in their Windows Forms applications.

Driving two bulldogs from Anchorage (Alaska) to Fresno (California) with only a few days to plan a week long trip through the wilderness
This is the blog of my thoughts (hosted on crocweb) leading up to this epic drive, and the story of a father/son road trip through some of the most beautfiul country I've ever seen.

In 2007, I placed a digital camera on the top of Mount Oso (California) and took four pictures of sunrise every day for a year. The whole project was completely automated, including everything from parsing a daily XML feed to determine sunrise time to posting images to my web server.
The camera was mounted to a radio antenna and connected via a 200 ft usb-over-ethernet cable to a pc housed in a repurposed storage container full of microwave transmission equipment. a script would run every morning, take 4 photographs and upload them to my webserver. visitors to the site could leave comments, vote on the best picture of the day and even download a small app that would update their windows wallpaper with a fresh sunrise every morning.
The project ran for a year, and I eventually took it down because the camera and other hardware was on private land and the lease with the landowner came to an end.

The Start Page Randomizer gives your browser the ability to start up with a random page from a list of your favorite web sites.
For the truly adventurous, you can choose to to be randomized to pages added by other users. Pick the categories you're interested in, and see what shows up! The optional work-safe filter allows you to randomize your startpage with complete confidence and you can even choose whether to allow other users to see your pages or not.

Computer repair, virus/malware removal and system upgrades in the Madera Ranchos area of California.
I don't make a living out of this, but if I can save someone the trouble of paying to have their computer fixed restored to factory settings by a major store, then that's good enough for me.
