Welcome to my hand-crafted home on the web. Stay awhile and thanks for stopping by.
I’ve dipped my toe into blogging in PHP over the past year. It still feels magical — and I’m continuing to find new/old ways of making simple and effective PHP websites. Serendipity is a recent one.
My 18 y/o says that almost every guy at his school is into sports betting. I remember the NFL fantasy leagues of the 2010's — and it was a gateway drug to today's situation.

And pro athletes shouldn't be subject to threats from gambling addicts - at least not to any larger extent than they have been for a century or more.

Dear NBA and MLB and every other pro sports league: You are going to begin to lose families as viewers if you can't reign in the sheer overwhelming quantity of SPORTS BETTING advertisements in your content.

I absolutely love that the URL for the Acme Brick corporate website is "www.brick.com"
