Origins

So, here we go again...

This is the obligatory first post to mark the start of yet another social channel.  Like my Flickr and YouTube accounts I don't really know what I'm going to document or share here.  Chances are there'll be Coding, Cooking and Photography for starters but I imagine all sorts of randomness will pop up.  Although whatever happens I'm sure it will fare better than my Tumblr efforts!

Anyway, here I am, finally(!) on the final half of the final project.  This project is down as a Capstone with the idea being that you create one app that displays everything you have l...
