I post my favorite pictures here on my picasaweb account.

The final project Troy and his classmates put together for 10th grade Chemistry class

Possibly the worst teacher of my university experience taught this class. It was the computer class for teachers. I wound up teaching most of my peers because I knew more than the teacher. And I got a ‘B’. Go figure….

A little e-thankyou I made for my brother Trevor. I was trying to figure out iWeb a bit. The feature set is pretty good, but loads way to slow on anything except the most recent computer.

I don’t suppose I’m overly proud of this site design, but it’s included here for the sake of completeness. For what it is worth, I sat down one day in the office of the English school where I taught in Russia and put it together. I wanted to have something simple and standards compliant. At the time, it was.

The final project from my 'intensive' first-year Russian stint.

After reading Narcissism Today while growing up, I remember thinking that it would be swank if I could someday have a letter like that of my own. During my year out of the country, I fulfilled that dream and thus was born the first incarnation of Starry Noviy Goat or, rather, my new year’s letter coinciding with that holiday.

Like any habit, it takes a little while to form the sticktoitiveness to actually make something happen. As such, 2005’s newsletter came out on time. 2006’s got as far as a rough draft and then died. The newsletters of 2007 and 2008 didn’t even have a chance, as in I never started writing them. Now with a family in tow, it is time to bring back Mr. Goat and all his tall tales.

Feel free to peruse the actual letters and/or how they were written. As always, feedback is appreciated. Drop a comment in the box below or send an email our way.

To America With Love chronicles the time I spent in Kaliningrad teaching English. Most posts are rather long-winded and tend to ramble.

My intent is to clean the posts, verify that the links still exist, and then put all the posts here.

The status of my PhotoSite account before it was taken offline on Sept 30, 2006. It is fairly broken in its current state. But most of the links to pictures I gave in the TAWL blog will still work.

Eventually I’ll whip out my regex cheat sheet and clean up the remains of my site. Ahh, the joy of putting all your eggs in one basket only to find out your basket will break after a few years!
