Located in Hammond, LA, Project Cultivate is a non-profit providing cost-effective treatment for adolescents and adults suffering from Substance Use Disorder. They needed a website that detailed their services, allowed for donations, and helped them stand out as the professionals…

Anytime friends talked about runners' high, I'd usually roll my eyes and think to myself "you've obviously never tried real drugs". I was wrong. The Coronavirus quarantine adds a bit of extra time to my day, since I no longer…

This is far from a comprehensive list, but it's just enough for a fun night gathered around my new-used vintage audio set-up with some Fireball hot chocolate. These songs pretty much span from early '80s onward, so this playlist actually…

What an awesome phone. Got it September 2017. Nearly stock Android, so didn't have to deal with too much vendor nonsense. The Motorola specific add-ons were actually useful, like some "Moto Action" that would cool the color temperature at 9PM…

Step 1: Bought a Stereo I bought a fairly powerful Panasonic stereo on Craigslist. It has CD, AM/FM radio, AUX input, and USB input. Originally set it up on the carpet, but Patty dog sheds a lot and I didn't…

I went to a "Freelance Friday" event in April that was hosted at Church Alley Coffee on OC Haley Blvd. in New Orleans. I remember getting a lot of work done and meeting some cool people, but I don't remember being as overwhelmed as I appear in the below photo. Also, I'm looking "rounder" than I think I've ever been.
