Tis the season for gift giving and despite being nearly 30 years old, I still have a Christmas wishlist. For those of you that believe I have earned more than a lump of coal for Christmas, here's a wishlist composed of gadgets, entertainment, personal decor, and other raw materials necessary to keep myself and the apartment operational for the next 365 days. Hopefully this will make your shopping adventures less painful and whenever possible, available from the convienence of your computer and no more than a few mouse clicks away. Keep in mind, this is a work in progress so I'll be updating it over the next few weeks.

Four score, and one decade ago I began my quest to develop the next iteration of this website. As many of you know, it's been in development for quite a while. In fact, last year around this time I was just venturing into the development of the blog section of which this fine mangling of words was crafted. It's been quite a journey, but I think it's about ready for initial release. Yes, release! I mean I will be placing this site on 'www' instead of 'ruby'. Consider it my present to all of you who have patiently been awaiting (or persistently asking about) the expected release date for the site. Although there is nothing definite at this point, it is certainly looking promising.
