We have some snow!!! Naturally, that means – “photo opp”.

I like snow, and more so when it is in black and white. Here’s a couple of shots for your enjoyment: trees in the snow in front of Hutcheson Hall and Solitude at the Duck Pond.

The first Virginia Tech calendar that I ever made. It all started as more as a bet than anything else. My family and friends kept bugging me about making something with all the pictures of Tech campus that I have taken in the last few years. Personally, I think they were just eager to see if they could convert me into a capitalist or something. Anyhow, here it goes. I hope you will like it.

“Hello World” was the title of the first ever web page that I made back in the 1996 or 1997. Since then my page had gone through a myriad of changes from simple notepaddish HTML/SHTML to full blown PHP-based CMS. The road has not always been a smooth one, but enjoyable nonetheless and if nothing else – very, very educational (and there’s no substitute for that).

In any respect, after trying out various content management systems I am still looking for a setup up that not a full-blown CMS over-kill, yet extensible if need be. Therefore, I’ve decided to give blog format a chance, we’ll see what happens.
