Kinda crazy-busy for me lately. On top of work, being a new father has been challenging. I liken parts of fatherhood a bit like getting a new gift surprise every 3 or 4 hours — wrapped up in a nice warm steamy bundle of diapers. You never know what you’re going to get. Anyway, here’s just a couple of samples of recent projects...
Read MoreCan’t reach me?
