This is my brand new desktop! With this new setup I will also be starting a new blog full of n00b geekness—soon!

The Daily Grind
Of all the seasons I could have gone back to work I had to pick this one … a sudden downpour outside, the kind that makes you NOT want to get up in the morning. It’s half past 5 am, still enough time to let Kuya Maui snuggle up in bed before waking him for [...]
Other Endings
If you’re into reading short fiction, I’d like to invite you to download my ebook “Other Endings.”
It is a collection of short stories and poetry that I’ve written through the years and have decided to gather into this electronic volume.
