My computer bit the big one last week. It’s RIDICULOUS how attached we become to technology, but really, it was more than that…it held a LOT of information, like tons of pictures dating back to 2010, design files, word docs up the wazu, downloaded goodness…so. many. pictures. {Please wait while I pick up my heart off the floor…} We are still going to see if there is a way to retrieve this data but during my down time, I started...

It’s one person’s vision. His point of view, which can very well be biased due to the fact that his daily experience with blogging includes his wife – her blog, her blogroll, etcetera and so forth.
