Description: This is a personal tech blog, community forum, and arcade. This site is constantly changing and is a testbed for new ideas.

Features: This site serves three audiences: the owner's family and friends, those with tech knowledge and those needing help with technical issues. For the family group there is a section that contains a blog of the recent family events, a photo gallery, an events calendar that is restricted to direct family only and a "Fun Stuff" section with an arcade and other games and activities.

For the tech crowd, there is a "Tech News" section with news feeds, tech blog, forum and a request for help form. Throughout the site there is a visible "Shoutbox" or online real-time chat module and a private messaging application.
