If you are here then you no doubt noticed that I have made a pretty significant update to this website. This is the fourth major update I have made over the years and should allow for easier maintenance, a cleaner look as well as a slew of new functionality. I have been working on the new site for more than a month and just decided that even though it is not completely ready that it would be great to start the new year with the new site. Most of the old content has been migrated, however, all of the old blog pages prior to 2012 haven’t been converted yet. I will get to that as time allows. I also need to re-encode some of the older videos so that they can be embedded from Youtube as the new ones on the new Movies page are.

The site is now “Responsive”, that is, it responds correctly to whatever device you are accessing it with. I have tested it with iPhone, IPad, Android and of course Mac OS X with Safari on Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion. I have not tested it with Windows anything as I don’t have anything to test that with. I have not changed the slide shows; they still use Flash so they will only work on devices and systems with Flash installed. At some point I will be using HTML 5 for the slide shows so that they will work everywhere.

You will also notice that the RSS Feeds on the Blog and Movies pages work correctly. So if you click on these and add the link in the popup to your email client or RSS reader you will be notified anytime these pages change or new ones are added. And I will be adding commenting in the near future so we can discuss items on or related to this site.

I thought you also might like to know that if you visit this site you are not alone. I have never promoted or advertised this site in any way but in 2012 there were 1057310 visits by 7806 unique visitors. And they came from many foreign countries including Greece, Russia, India, France, Ukraine, Norway, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, Poland, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and California. That speaks to the power of the Internet and Google search.

I hope you all like the new site as much as I do.
