Carrizo Badlands Loop
It’s been a while, and I’ve been itching to play in the desert. It’s hard to balance being a parent, a desire to sit on my rear and do nothing, and the always-burning drive to do little (or big) adventures. This day was a good mix of all — I slept in a bit, made […]
Read MoreVimsio Updates
Vimsio is a project which aims to make managing various personal and client projects easier. It’s a place to store todo lists, keep a schedule, and a place to add notes. It’s a constant work in progress, so this page will act as a bit of a log to track updates and changes. Nov […]
Read MoreTaking Breaks Throughout the Day
It’s summer, which kind of wreaks havoc with my normal schedule. The kid is out of school, and while my wife mostly takes on the role of teacher and entertainer for the summer, she does need some time to work as well. I’ve started taking a longer break in the mid-morning from around 10am until […]

My nice fixed position toolbar wasn’t sticking as it should as I scrolled through on my mobile browser window. It would appear sticky at times, but as I scrolled, it would slide up or down. The solution is to add “minimum-scale=1” to the meta viewport tag, which for me, now looks like this: <meta name=”viewport” […]
Read MoreMy Zindrop Collections
Zindrop has been a little side project for a while. It’s basically a place to drop random thoughts, web bookmarks, and photos into one place, and organize it all by tags. I recently added the ability to make certain collections (posts grouped by tags) public, so anyone browsing could see those things. I like this […]

Read MoreA Better Microblogging Site – Thoughts, Images, and Bookmarks
I have always wanted a place to collect things, whether they were random thoughts that popped into my head, or interesting websites and articles that I found online. I’ve also wanted a place to post things publicly, that didn’t quite fit with my blog — maybe they were just little incomplete thoughts, or outside one […]
