Clearly I haven't written in a while. I've been busy with all manner of projects, of late. However, since this will be mostly video and image posting, I thought it couldn't hurt to get a quick article up.

Radon - an colorless, oderless gas. Sounds familiar, right? But you've probably heard that phrase in relation to other gasses like the carbon-monoxide, or perhaps natural gas. Radon poses health threats, as well, but with the added benefit of radiation. Scared yet? Don't worry.

Ok, so I clearly wasn't alive when Mount St. Helens blew its lid in May of 1980; but that doesn't mean that I haven't had some adventures of my own with the eruption's aftermath!

We all love our pets, but nobody likes cleaning up after them when they "do their business," right? Well, I'm in that same boat.

Shadow boxes deserve a shadow... right? Well, if there's a shadow, there has to be some light! That's what I've been working on; adding a little intelligent lighting to my shadow boxes! But, I've also been going crazy in the kitchen with some lights around the cabinets.

My 115-year old house is getting a bit of a face lift. Well... Something like that.
