Welcome to the Site

This is a very central point for me. In other words here is where I try to put all of my media in one place. I hope to set up my own website at some point that will allow me to accomplish this better with a really good theme for video blogging (might be custom designed by me) and a page for Social Media. The while site will run off of a very modded version of wicket pixie. Stay tuned for more this summer. Also look for the twitter feed in the left side bar and the posts that are below are the same posts that are posted on my main site. I think this is a great place to gather your feeds into one and I love what Chris has done with it.

Ceaning Out Your Mac With Onyx

The thing that happens is overtime files left over from unused programs and caches that never got cleaned pile up on your hard drive. This not only takes up valuable space, but it slows down your overall… Continue

Hey... Glad you got teamviewer to work with the big file. Let me know if you need help with CSS, since I'm also learning that along with VB and C#. I'm a Programmer, by the way. Good luck! I also have teamviewer and I own the group for it on this forum, in case you want to join it.
