I get a lot of questions asking me, “How do I get a picture avatar next to my comments like you and other people have?” …or saying, “I checked your blog everywhere for a place to upload my picture but couldn’t find one anywhere.” The answer is Gravatar.com.

I wanted to put together a brand new site that more illustrated the confusing plethora of scattered interests and endeavors that have pervaded my existence thus far.
