Yeah, I oughta have more pictures. My Apologies. I'm usually to involved doing things to take pictures of me and everyone doing the things. But I have interests outside of sinking y'all into a cryonic torpor with electrons scattering themselves across your cathode ray tube. I do all kinds of fun stuff when I'm not busy designing Propane 2-liter-bottle cannons in my back alley.
