I can't imagine that I would be able to write anything about James Kim that hasn't already been said. He did his job: He protected his family, even at the cost of himself.

Alright, things are returning to normal. I'be been moving things over to the new server at my house and trying to reorient myself. Also, getting blogger to work right has taken some tickery and flat out kung foo. The site feed has been restored. The picture gallery is up but only has one album. I'll be adding more pictures this weekend. I owe a BIG thanks to my friend Dan for helping me get this running. Check him out at morecpu.com . He's an EXCELLENT programmer and unix guy. If you need a project done he's your man. His contact information is on his site. Please mail me if you spot something that's blatenly wrong or needs to be changed. E

I've been using a piece of weather software for a few months now and I need to share this with you. It's called SwiftWx and for the money the best weather software on the market. It's just that simple. If you have an appreciation for Mother Nature or just have a curiosity, you owe it to yourself to check this out. The screen shots you've been seeing recently are taken from Swift. Awesome, just awesome! Check out the weather blog .
