8/29/2002 - Netscape Launches v7.

Netscape throws a volley into the browsers wars of the late 90’s with their release of the new Netscape 7.
On a quick first glance, things look good and much improved. I’ll get a more in-depth look at it when I get back from New York next week.

8/25/2002 - A new look.

I’ve started moving the site over to the new look. There is still some work to be done on the sub-pages, but things should start moving quickly now that the style-sheet seems to be operating with maximum efficiency.

Convergency.com & Convergency.infowill point here for the foreseeable future.
GridIronPicks.comwhich was supposed to launch this week will be scrambling to find a new home over […]

8/5/2002 - Status.

My Status = Busy. GridIronPicks.com is about to launch…slated for this evening.
My real job has been slow challenge-wise. Currently hanging at about a 2.5 on the Kiel Scale.
I’ve got a minor redesign of the sh2.com site in the works. But with outside activities hitting 5 nights a week, my time is kind of tight right […]
