While it may appear to the people that know me that I'm always into gadgets/computers/electronic stuff, I'm also fascinated by many other things outside of computers. Last year I started getting more into cooking, watching the Food Network and trying things I watched on TV. I've made some pretty great stuff (details I'll save for another blog post).
One of the things I learned is the tomatoes in the grocery stores are un-ripe, and given a chemical to treat them and make them red. I feel cheated robbed like I'm missing out on the true taste of tomatoes. I've also always wanted to grow my own tomatoes (after growing a bunch of stuff in my window), so I went nuts at a local hydroponic supply store.
I have a 400W grow light, reflector, hydroponic grow buckets, rockwool seed starting cubes, and I have started with tomato seeds. I have 3 kinds of tomato seeds - beefsteak, roma, and a yellow one.

So, I have decided to go back to a blog (instead of the couch picture of me). I've been wanting a better platform to post/share things, and while I'm a bit fanatical about wanting to code it all myself, it seems some things are better left to others.
I have chosen Movable Type over Wordpress (booooo, perl over PHP!?), but while I code PHP all day and really detest Perl (reasons belonging in another post), I rather like how Movable Type uses the database to publish static files. Plus, the back-end interface is really snazzy!
As for this blog, I have a bunch of PHP code snippets, some lessons/things I've learned over the years, and just general geek info I want to share with the world. Everybody has big goals for their little blog to be read by many - I just want to have a nice repository for all these snippets/things I've learned/hacked up in the past.
Stay tuned!
