Oh, hey, an updated site. Any new content? No... Darn.
In other news, I was kind of sick of how things were looking and I needed to update the site before the next version of Drupal came out anyway. So time for a new look and feel. It's responsive.
In travel-related news, I actually traveled to some far-flung locations such as Germany... Yep, that's it. Disneyland isn't so far-flung, but I guess that counts as travel.
The last 6 months have been a whirlwind of busy for me. But I haven't just been sitting still.
I do plan on writing up more destinations as soon as I can organize the photos from the trips. One of the things that has prevented me is the acquisition of an iPhone.

There are tons of web sites that offer competitive prices, but it's like they purposefully try to aggravate you into conceding defeat. I would rather do my taxes.
Everyone has the lowest fare. Bullshit. Nobody has the lowest fare. Fares change so much over the months that they are available that the consumer is always going to lose. Here are your options:
Journal writing is not my favorite activity in the world by a long shot. In fact, I absolutely detest writing journals, and often they degrade into the mundane or ranting about journals.
