Welcome
I plan to
relocate to Palm Springs and set up shop there.
Needing a source of income is paramount until I can
get myself established. "How can I help?", you ask.
Well, it's pretty easy. Every time you need to shop online at Amazon.com, just click on that link you just read. In fact, why not drag it to your BookMarks Toolbar in your browser?
Amazon is a great place to get all sorts of gear and if you use that link, I get a small referral for having sent you. It costs you nothing extra so this ends up as a Win-Win-Win situation for all three of us.
Remember too, a lot of stuff at Amazon is eligible for FREE shipping as well so you end up saving gas to boot! Please use that link the next time you need to get your hands on something - I would be most appreciative.
thanks for stopping by,
_Matt

About Me
More here as i can think of a way to talk about myself without sounding like a dork, or pompous ass, which actually are one in the same.
Current Projects
i've been working on a number of projects
simultaneously.
this site is one of them. the entire first page is an experiment to see if i can do more with less. instead of having multiple pages to click on, here is one page with multiple panels that slide in and out of the way. click on the "write me" shade and let me know what you think of this approach.
other projects include my wood carving site. and the companion youtube channel. once i get up to speed on carving, there will also be an eBay page and an Amazon.com A-store to go along with that endeavor.
soon, you'll be seeing my next new site: tv-converter-boxes come online. some behind-the-scenes stuff is done, but all the writing has to be done before going live. check back in a week or so and hopefully i will gotten over my writers block.
i have 3 other ideas in the works too. not going to say what those are just yet, but they should make the light of day real soon. be sure to stop by and check those out. another thing you could do is subscribe to my blog, that's where i plan to make those anouncements.
speaking of blogs... i plan to add more political content to my blog. i'm working with my aunt and uncle in an effort to get the message out about a ton of social issues. please make your comments known there and pass the link on to all your friends.
ok, that's enuff for now - see you soon!

Lost & Not Found
There are a number of people i lost contact with and
would like to see and/or talk to again. if you know
the where-a-bouts of any of the following, contact
them and let them know i'm looking for them and have
them visit this site and give me a shout.
- John Clark - I went to manchester grade
school and north boone high school with John. he
was a year ahead of me. we were also in boy
scouts together.
last time i saw John was when he and my boss at the time came to one of my after hours parties. I was working at the stage door lounge and John hung out with my boss Jim Hatch. John was big into muscle cars and drove a souped up orange camaro. this is a picture of him from that party. this was taken in the late 1970's. John also went by the nick name of "Mo"
- Ray Yedinak - I attended college (Southern Illinois University) with Ray. he and his wife Colleen were lots of fun to be around. Ray has a wicked sense of humor and he put it to good use when we were so poor during college, all we could afford was our own entertainment. Ray and I used to laugh about how our dads would make up these weird sandwiches. Ray nicknamed his dad Jack Snack and i think he got the prize for concocting a potato chip sandwich. would like to see Ray again and reminisce. Ray is orginally from Streater Ill and lived for a while in California. when i find a picture i will post it.
- Dan Starnes - worked with Dan at Amerock Corp in Rockford. Dan drove fork lift and was a lot of fun to talk with. he quit Amerock and i lost contact with him till one night at a bar, he came up and put the moves on me. we hung out for a while together but i took a job down in Bloomington/Normal and we lost contact again. then one night i was cruising the circuit and ran into him again. i was living in madison but still had rental property in rockford. we just talked that night but i told him where i was living. about four years later he called the house one night. it was real late and he woke my roommate up. he needed a place to spend the night so i went and picked him up. i took the next day off work and we goofed off till he had to leave. seems he was fleeing his ex wife, the law, or both and was on his way to minnesota. this was around 1996 and i haven't heard from him since, but i've moved about 200 times since then as well. i'm gonna look, but i don't think i have any pics of him. he has one distinguishing birthmark though. his right hand has a couple of webbed fingers and we used to call him "The Claw". I would like to see Dan again - I enjoyed his company very much!
