I recently escaped the corporate world to attempt a life of freelance writing, blogging, web design, app development, and multimedia content creation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I de-facto started the recycling program in my town, long before it was cool. It was probably around 1992-93 and I was only 11 or 13 when the town forced everyone to separate their glass and aluminum from the waste.

A noble cause, I suppose, except they still sent one truck around and threw everyone's trash and recycling into one dumpster. I had stayed home from school on collection day, noticed, and told my mom.

She watched for the next two weeks, confirmed the scam, and told the town that if they were gonna make us sort, they were damned sure gonna send two bins and take them to different piles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a new homeowner getting a crash course in building and lifestyle maintenance. I document my trials so that they might help someone later.

I welcome the insight of people who are knowledgeable on subjects where I am deficient, so that I might learn some lessons before they become emergencies.
