About

This is my blog, dedicated to allowing me to rant about anything and everything that strikes my fancy.  You might find yourself here because I said something dumb and someone posted about it on Twitter – or perhaps you’ve stumbled onto one of my how to articles.  Either way you’re welcome here.  I get a ton of spam comments so please don’t be offended if I don’t see your comment and approve it for a long time.  You can reach out on Twitter (@zaeyx).
