New Website Project
I have been working on the website for the company that I work for, improving my HTML and CSS a little bit (I'm mostly doing marketing, and it is on WordPress, so how much code do I actually need to know?). Anyway, it inspired me to start my own website project. I have always felt that buying from local businesses is the best way to support the local economy (improved roads, health care, school system, happy people, etc), but there aren't easy places to be able to tell if businesses are local. When I say local business, I mean completely local, started in your town or in the town over and all profits stay within the locale. That boosts local economies, I'm sure. It has to. Because tax.
Anyway, I decided to start a little WordPress blog beginning to compile a list of as many local businesses as I know of, hopefully turning it into a fully functional website at some point when I want to make the plunge and spend money on it. Here it is --> HarrisonburgLocal. I'm hoping it is a fun project for me and that I can learn a little more about the behind the scenes things for websites, all while helping people boost the local economy. Tschüß!

This post is about my reason for this blog
I have this odd interest in technology but I pretty much know nothing about it. This is going to be the place where I post interesting articles or projects I find around the interwebs and where I will explore my creative potential, which is very limited.
I will start with Phonebloks. These people have an awesome idea.
Basically, these Dutchmen saw a problem with people throwing away old phones and
spending exorbitant amounts of money on new phones so they set out to create a phone that you can upgrade by switching out the "bloks" on the back of the phone.
You should really check them out and track their progress, because they are trying to keep it as "open-sourced" as possible, meaning they keep asking for ideas from whoever will give ideas. The end-product (they were working with Motorola, now Google and Android on Project Ara) will be absolutely incredible if it all pans out.
Keep them in mind.
