I’ve been keeping myself too busy, here are some random things – today I was at home working because of the rain and flooding in Jersey, my wife is really close to being half way through our pregnancy – we’ll find out the sex this Thursday, and I’m working on creating a more “client” focused site to showcase some of my webdesigns, logos, etc., stuff that I wouldn’t normally post here. And I’ll avoid all the cussing too. Keep it on your list: WillWorkforArt.net
