My ugly mug

My name is Joel and this is my website/blog (whatever).

It's always half broken because it serves as a place to try out new things. If you're using Internet Explorer, then this website will look like crap; use Firefox instead.

I decided to make a simple wallpaper inspired by the Apple logo.

The screenshot above is using the 1920x1200 version on my 17inch MacBook Pro.

It's available in three sizes to fit most laptop screens.

1280x800

1440x900

That is something that happens automatically with WordPress since it is the most popular blogging platform in the known universe.

I've uploaded 210GB of data over 117 hours. And I've limited the upload to 500kbps about half the time. Guess that's what happens when you have a FIOS 15mbps up/down connection. Ha Ha!

Update: I wrote this on my iPhone with the WordPress app last night and didn't publish it right away and as of this morning I had uploaded 240GB.
