Seven years of solid service
So this week my editing workstation died. It was pretty bitter sweet because this machine was kind of like my best friend (geeky I know but hear me out.) It sucked especially since it was the first computer I set out to build with the intention of being an editing workhorse. I’m not kidding [...]

My mom is now Cancer Free… and growing [...]
