 Revamped Site This is site has  been revamped and will focus on some of the programming projects that I am currently working on or have worked on in the past. Some the projects that I worked on have been posted on Github. My main focus is Python and Ruby web frameworks. I have also been playing around with Docker containers, and I may provide some posts on what I have learned. Another interest  for me is PowerShell. I plan on providing content about PowerShell scripting.
