Zen Camping Group Page

Launched a group on Facebook to connect with like-minded campers and linked a page to the website to it.

Photos Page

Realized it would be easier to add existing shared albums to the site than to re-create them so I added a Photos page.

Added Captain's Log

My project to add transparency to my journal. A place I can make notes about my day, progress, and status as I go through life. A replacement for twitter without the likes, shares, and retweets that inhibit creativity and honesty.

29 SEP 23

Launched Camping Map

To share, access, and record locations easily I created a map of places I have been and want to go. Truck stops, and rest areas I like that are safe and interesting.

My Experience Driving a Truck

I took a break from IT, went back to driving and was so tired of computers I didn't even use GPS like the first time. By the time I was done with two years of it I had visited every state but Maine.

LEVTIC WEB HOSTING AND DESIGN

I launched a web hosting company. It is a fully automated system that works well. I can only raise a handful of clients over 9 months and shut it down.

5 SEP 06

I leave IT to go drive a semi-truck. I do a lot of blogging about places I had been. I made a flash animation to track my routes. It doesn't work anymore, but on the screenshot you can see you will experience most of the US in just 6 months of team driving.

2003

I graduate from Wichita State University with a degree in Management Information Systems. I am ready to tackle the world! Go Shockers!

19 JUL 02

As a hobby I took up Flash Animation design and made websites and animated cartoons. DolphinBase.com was my blog for a few years. There is nothing really to show because flash no longer works or is supported. Just this banner.

2000

Began working with databases in the Army making AD-HOC reports with Access 1.0 and Windows NT Servers.

Fascinated with the power of information, I left the Army and started college for MIS (Management Information Systems)

My very first website I made. Earned $100 and hour for hand coding it in HTML using Microsoft FrontPage.
