Disclaimer and Notices

The opinions and comments I make on this site are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions held by other members of my family, my employer, schools I attend, or other organizations I may be affiliated with now or in the past. Occasionally, I may post things that are not even my own opinions or views, but that I might find interesting and deserve consideration.

I hold a fairly steady moral compass, but I also tend to see most issues in various shades, tones, and hues—rarely in black and white. If I seem to contradict myself sometimes, it’s probably because of specifics in the given situation rather than a fundamental shift in attitude or values.

If you do not like what I have to say, then don’t read it. While I am open-minded and consider all sides, I ignore or delete rude comments, flames, trolls, spam, and anything else I find offensive. This blog is not a public forum; it is a personal blog where I can say whatever I feel like saying, and you are free to not read it. If you do comment on anything I have written, please remember you are a guest and act accordingly.

Sometimes I offer advice or recommendations. I make no warranty as to the content of this site or the reliability of any information herein, and any advice or recommendation may not apply in your case. Ultimately you must decide if the information sounds prudent in your situation, and if you act upon it, you do so solely at your own risk.

Unless otherwise noted, I don’t claim credit for quotes from other sites, images, or multimedia embedded in this site or linked to from this site. If you own the rights to any content embedded in this site and don’t want it to be embedded, please contact me with reasonable proof of your rights, and I will promptly remove the embedded content.

Please relax and enjoy yourself here, but never take anything I say so seriously as to become upset or violent.

Active Plugins

Note: I am still tweaking with all these plugins, trying to find the right mixture of convenience, site response time, site protection, functionality, and attractiveness. I don’t recommend or endorse any of the plugins here (at least not yet), because they are still too new to form an opinion.
