In all the time I have spent blogging, this is the first true Hello world! post. As I hope you can tell, I don’t take myself too seriously. The picture is from this past Christmas at the farm, just before we went on a hayride. That is myself, Rhett Soveran and my wife Leah. We didn’t want have appropriate clothes for long periods outside in a Saskatchewan winter, so we were given some fashionable suits to keep us warm.

This website is going to be the home of my professional self. During the day, I work as a Web Project Manager. My job is to do a couple of things: (1) see the big picture, (2) translate between client and developer and (3) ensure that everything that needs to be done is documented and finished. I have found that on the developing side of web work that there is are usually people like me, web generalists, who know about everything, but there rarely are similar people on the client side, which unfortunately (as I have seen) has lead to people being taken advantage of (not talking about my employer). There is so much to know about the web and if you don’t know or have someone that knows all the acronyms and the ins-and-outs, you might not get everything you need.

This has lead to the creation of this place. Both to advertise myself as a consultant for those people who are entering the internet and are surprised to find that it’s not the static place it used to be and to share the knowledge I have.
