New Website Hosting and Migration in Progress!

This website looks a bit stripped-down at the moment. I’m in the process of cutting over from an old hosting company that wasn’t keeping up with the times. Truth be told, I wasn’t keeping up with the times, either, as the majority of the website was done via Dreamweaver. I’ve moved the WordPress bit to this new host, and will now start migrating all of the content from Dreamweaver to WordPress as time allows.

Stay tuned…

USS Chickasaw: Part 2

I’ve been sidetracked on another project (that I’ll post about next week) and Chickasaw has languished on the shelf.  I freed up some bench space, though, and here we go…

Earth Day

Earth

This isn’t the best photo of the Earth from space you’ll find, but it means something to me. It’s from a packet that my grandfather gave me when I was a teenager. I believe it is a NASA press release from immediately following the Apollo 11 moon mission of 1969.

So, a shot of Earth on Earth Day. And to quote Wally Schirra, who flew many missions for NASA, including an earlier Apollo 7:

“I left Earth three times. I found no place else to go. Please take care of Spaceship Earth.”

First Official Post

So, someone else with a blog, eh?  Actually I guess not everyone has a blog, but in my circle of friends it sometimes sure does seem like that is the case.  I thought a long time before I decided to start my own.  What do I have to say?  Why does anyone want to read what I think?  But that line of questioning just called to mind why I would be a writer at all, so I shut up and looked for some software. 

I foresee this as having three distinct parts, dealing with my modeling, my writing, and my photography.  Of those three things I believe one I’m really good at, one I’m not too bad at, and the other I’m really trying.  I’ll leave which is which for whoever happens by to decide.

I’m still learning this software, so sorry for any learning-curve issues (for a tech person sometimes I’m a little slow).
