+Wow, it has been a long time since the last post. Since I don't think anyone is reading this and late I wanted to make sure the tires were kicked. I updated the theme tonight to use the wonderful template from [poole](https://github.com/poole/hyde). I like it so far, much less to maintain.

+Like most bloggers I have great dreams of filling this up with code samples, musing, and deep thoughts. Here is to hoping I don't waste time and get words on the screen. Whiskey in hand, lets make it happen. Be back soon!
