I've been having fun with the new chemwar layout. I've put together an RSS feed, a sitemap and all that crap, now I want to post most stuff, I haven't gotten a lot of new photos to post though so I'm putting together a few of my older pics to post. What fun!

Do you like to drink?

Hey, do you like drinking games? Do you occasionally find yourself out with a couple of friends who would like to play a drinking game but you don't have the right materials?

BOY are you in luck!

I've decided to try developing a couple drinking games for the iPhone so that you can play your favs with a 600$ phone instead of having to splurge for a $1.00 deck of cards!
You're welcome.

Add this handy webapp to your iPhone/Touch homescreen to get the full effect!

If you have any feedback, let me know!

So, I went out to Montana for a wedding at the start of the month. When we checked into the hotel I immediately thought of taking this shot. Fortunately the bridal party was pretty agreeable and I was able to steal people away before the reception and after the ceremony to get this shot.

Fireworks Festival From Kits

Fireworks always just look like fireworks in photos.

I wandered out to see the fireworks at Kits beach, I decided on this photo since Most of the photos just look like fireworks. I didn't have a tripod with me so I didn't have the greatest shots and I'm too jittery for much more.

I'm rebuilding the site slowly getting things back on track.

A word of warning: I'm hoping to go over some of the techniques and tricks I found and developed over the last two years of web development. I found quite a few helpful tricks. I'll try to include a pretty picture so that you non-technical types can still be entertained. That won't be happening terribly soon though.

Keep an eye on this space for further updates.


The Last 2 Years

The site was on a temporary hiatus. Here's the skinny: I was finally overwhelmed by spam robuts. I tore the site down in a fit of passionate rage (That's right ladies, rawr) with the intentions of rebuilding and then got a little sidetracked with work. It was at this point that I decided I should take a little time to decide where I wanted the site to go. Afterall, Facebook now exists and that was chemwar's original function.

I'm still on the fence as to chemwar's final iteration but I happen to have a little free time so I figure why not try writing a blog again? They're still super popular right?

A quick recap: I was working developing an inventory system for a warehouse, developing an eBay listing system and a way to synchronize our inventory between eBay and Shopify. Right when the whole thing was coming to fruition the carpet was pulled out from underneath the operation and so now I'm looking for something new to occupy my time.

So it goes right?
