Honoring Soldiers And Their Families

The freedoms we enjoy often come from the sacrifices of the men and women in uniform. But many times the mission abroad leaves the families back home with their own struggles.

Sunday the National Guard paid tribute to the contributions of both the troops and their loved ones.

ABC News Channel 20's Mike Brooks takes a closer look.

One of my friends, a soldier named Ryan Keeter, is featured in the video on the following page. Go to Springfield, Illinois WICS ABC 20 Newsroom. This quote is from that page.

Let Me Rule Your Heart by Rubber Universe

I've mentioned Gina and Robert before. They are two members of a band called Rubber Universe. I met them through work, but they are both accomplished musicians and damn fine people. Here's an animated video to their song Let Me Rule Your Heart. Check it out.

Congratulations: J.D. and Megan Pohlman

I'd like to congratulate J.D. and Megan on their great wedding over this last weekend. I got my invitation a few months back and was surprised and delighted to learn that it was going to take place in Quincy, Illinois, which is apparently where Megan's family is from. This was a double treat for my family and I because Lisa and I used to live in Quincy as well and our oldest daughter was born there.

J.D. and Megan Pohlman

I want to have a full write-up and post a recap of the night, but it's too late at night right now and I'm too tired. For now, take a look at the following two links that helped point guests to the wedding.

J.D. and Megan's Wedding

I've linked to J.D.'s website before. In fact, his personal site was one of the first that I linked to, since his stuff was a major inspiration for having my own site.

JanetLackey.com :: Graphic Design for Interactive Media and Print

A friend and former coworker I admire has left her daily job as a graphic web designer and is leaping into independent work as a freelance for-hire web designer.

You have reached the online portfolio of Janet Lackey. I'm a graphic designer living in the midwestern U.S. city of St. Louis, Missouri. As I approach a decade in the design field, I find what makes my career so enjoyable are the colorful variety of projects and clients I work with.

If there's anyone that can pull this off and be successful, it's Janet. So check out JanetLackey.com. Also, catch up with her stuff on her blog, her LinkedIn profile and her flickr photos.

For the record, I'm not stalking her. She just has a lot of cool stuff she does online and this is just a few that I know of.

Mark McCoy

My friend and coworker, Mark, has updated his website. He didn't win the mayor's seat back in March, but he is still stirring up activism and enthusiasm. His ideas are pretty out there, but this is only a symptom of his genius.

Mark McCoy

Apparently, my friend and coworker, Mark, is running for public office in Collinsville. It's too bad that I don't reside in Illinois or I'd vote for him as many times as I could.

Gaming-PCs

Gaming-PCs is open for business and your best bet for a high performance computer deal.

Gaming-PCs.com is focused on providing the best computer for the money. We compete against and almost always beat the prices of larger computer companies such as:

We use only high-quality materials and manufacturer parts from the biggest names including but not limited to:

All of our computers are assembled by trained staff, and they are all put together by hand. We use screws and pins that are packaged by the manufacturers, we don’t insert needless, breakable plastic parts that can become loose or break. Plastic parts may make installation faster, and easier, but they also can make the computer less reliable so we will not use them unless they are recommended by individual component manufacturers.

If you are looking for a great deal on a new PC, be sure to check them out.

Yeah, I doubt it. At this point, there's a cool header logo and that's about it.

Update (2008/12/31): At this point, Aaron is testing some sort of CSS Dock Menu. Also, check out the "message" and "table" page. Cool JavaScripty stuff.

Legend of the Five by Toni Philips

Antonia Philips is another coworker of mine. Her and her husband Rick were mentioned previously with Ricks-Garage. The two of them share my interests in many things, including fantasy literature. In fact, she is a writer. Read about her book series "Legend of the Five".

Update (2007/02/13): Firstly, Rick and Toni got a divorce. Neither work for MonsterCommerce anymore. Toni's website about her book is currently in a hiatus/construction mode, so there isn't currently much information about the book. The design does look pretty cool in progress though.

Legend of the Five Logo

I also wanted to include some other information about Toni's work history. Interestingly, she used to work for a video game company named Meridian 59. You can also see some information on MobyGames. Post-MonsterCommerce, she now works for MasterCard.
