Welcome to my personal blog. This blog is somewhat infrequently updated these days, as Webvanta, the company I run that provides a hosted web content management system, keeps me pretty busy. You may also be interested in the web design blog on the Webvanta site, for which I am the primary author.
Moved to Webvanta
Until recently, this blog has been running on a Ruby on Rails blog engine called Mephisto. I've now rebuilt this blog using Webvanta, the hosted web content management system that my company produces. Webvanta can do much more than blogs, but it is a great blog system as well.

Comedy Magic Show in Santa Rosa
It’s not often you can see great comedy and magic in Santa Rosa. But once a year, Ken Garr, proprietor of the Mostly Magic Shop in downtown Santa Rosa, puts on a show that features his friends, colleagues, and students. My family has gone every year for many years, and we’ve always enjoyed it.

The iPad: Imperfect, But Enough for Me!

Webvanta Financing Closed!
Following a marathon effort, I’m delighted to announce that we’ve closed Webvanta’s Series A financing. It’s very exciting, and quite a relief, to have this behind us and to be able to really focus on growing the company in 2010.
