About me:
I’m a weirdo. I wear a black leather trenchcoat ~355 days a year (until it gets above 85° F / 29.44° C or 75% humidity), I’m a supervisor in a Help Desk, I’m a non-preaching Reverend of the Universal Life Church, I was trained throughout childhood/teenage years in visual art, and I have a strong dislike of politicians with an aversion to anything politics. Oh, and I wear my kilt once and a while.
Here’s some baseball-style stats, slightly internationalized (because I know I have visitors from other countries. Why, I’m not sure, but they visit.):
Nationality: American
Age: 32 years
Gender: Male
Height: 6 foot 1 inch / 1.85 metres
Weight (without coat): 135 pounds / 61.23 kilograms

Eyeball color: white, with red blood vessels
Hair color: very dark brown, with a slight reddish tinge
About this site:
I swear. Alot. And I like swearing. So if you don’t like it, please go somewhere else and don’t come back.
Feesl.com has existed since 1997, borne out of grand dreams full of piss and vinegar; I was ready to change the world with my m4d cr4zy html sk1llz.
Now it’s cooled off. I’m older, more experienced, more aware of how things that burn brighter are burning more quickly, and that burning more quickly means the fuel is all going bye-bye faster. This site was initially my hand-built HTML framed-pages, then I changed to PHP-included combo pages, then to Simple PHP Blog, then to Drupal, and finally to WordPress.
My website was once the main feesl.com page, but I moved it off when I gained enough control to make a main family resource site. No one used it.
Ever.
So when I moved hosts in 2006 I didn’t rebuild it, left a “construction” message up and waited to hear a complaint. As of 2008/11/05 I haven’t heard anything. ;)
Now my site is pretty much what I want it to be, but parts are still changing. It uses plenty of javascript and flash to make it seem very Web 2.0, so please make sure you are not blocking scripts.
