Hello World!

Welcome to the first blog of many. I'll be publishing all sorts of things ranging from technical issues I have run into, programming code (VB.NET mostly), technical articles, photography articles, and anything else deemed bloggable. I've been in the IT industry since the late 90's, but I've been heavily tinkering - mostly self-taught - with computers since the mid 80's (my father was a manager at a TV station, so that helped). I have an MCSE, BMA Specialist (Microsoft Great Plains), and a brand new MCST (SQL 2005) certification under my belt. I enjoy graphic design and photography as a hobby, when I have time. Hope you enjoy the blog!
