Costume tips…
Everyone seems to be feeling the crunch on the Halloween costume front. Here’s a rule that may help out:
Every costume is better with an adjective, don’t settle for a noun.
Example: why be a nurse, when you could be a ZOMBIE nurse? Why be a doctor if you could be a Hillbilly doctor? Some examples of appropriate words:
zombie
vampire
undead
hillbilly
insane
killer
Further examples?

Thanks to everyone!
Just wanted to say “Thanks!” to everyone who was nice enough to leave comments/tell me in person that they liked the new look. I’m still working on getting the CSS for the homepage exactly right….a matter of playing with the different options for the bottom border. But I do appreciate all the feedback guys…my job search will benefit from it!

New Homepage!
Ok gang…it's group review time.
I overhauled my homepage for the upcoming job search. What do the masses think?
(as well, the more observant among you may notice that my blog link goes to a slightly different address than the old http://www.jasongriffey.net/blog/ That is because I'm slowly weaning myself off of Radio Userland, and starting to use WordPress. Please feel free to update links accordingly.)

The moment that you've all been waiting for: way too many pictures of our trip to VA, complete with humorous commentary. Finally, everyone can sleep again. But only AFTER you look at them.
