The photo is of our 23-pound mutt named Barney with his winter haircut. When I get him shaved for the summer, he looks like a different dog. More Barney photos: summer, winter, winter, and hipster wearing one of my crocheted wool beanie hats. Our vet jokingly called him a Miniature Bearded Collie, which is a non-existent species.

Today's little moments become tomorrow's precious memories

Better to write for yourself and have no public than to write for the public and have no self.
- Cyril Connolly

I believe one of life's great pleasures comes from making modest things consistently well. If you do this with care, curiosity, and feeling, we’d probably get along.

I've created many other websites for myself. Here are a few that I use as necessary. I have accessed my weather website multiple times a day, nearly every day, since I created it in the summer of 2013.

• Toledo Weather
• Toledo Winter - Seasonal blog (not doing this for the 2018-2019 winter)
• Soupmode - Private, web-based, messaging service that I use with family
• Bird Brains Brewing - My wife and I occasionally brew beer at home.
• Waxwing - Simple, image-uploading utility that needs some fixing, and I need to use it more. JavaScript reduces the image size and quality to make uploading faster over a slow, mobile connection.
• Finch - If I read feeds, this bare minimum reader is becoming my main source. Occasionally, I use theoldreader.com.
• Toledo Talk - Small, local message board that I started in January 2003. I patterned the first version after MetaFilter.com. The current version runs on code that I created in 2005. I closed it down in March 2019.
