Useful thing to you: My suggested Open House Tour Path

I'm the guy that built the phone system and networked the radio shack (with help and constructive input from the right people, natch). I believe in having group buy-in, but not letting individual nay-sayers try to kill a good idea.

I often say 'participate in progress rather than question results.' - I would hope you share my sentiment and get busy making awesome stuff!

Want to send me an email? I should be reachable easily enough.. test of different colour text . :-)
