August 21, 2009
  1. Ha! I finally found the time to do some serious renovations here! My main focus as of late has been to streamline all the information here, so I've cut out a lot of extraneous materials (ie, the Photography, Videography and Martial Arts sections).
  2. I've also done away with nav-buttons in favor of text links. It's not as stylish, but there's no sense in going through the trouble of making custom buttons when I'm likely to change them next week. So that's the way it's going to be. At least until I feel confident about the permanence of each section.
  3. The Scrapbook section has been combined with the News Column. This cuts down on clutter and claustrophobia.
June 02, 2009
  1. Condensed Photography & Videography sections into one...still need to get the new button up, so for now both buttons will link to the same condensed page.
  2. More photographs will be posted in the future...
  3. Added a general introduction to the photography sub-section, as well as an introduction for the existing photos there.
May 14, 2009
  1. More minor tweaks all around. I think I need to better organize the mass of information on the site.... I feel as thought it's gotten too big for its britches....
May 13, 2009
  1. Shrunk the nav buttons some more, and added a new one as well.
  2. Fiddling with the photography section. Need to figure out something more efficient than making a separate page for each large scale image....so for now only thumbnails are functional.
  3. Still trying to figure out what's causing the nav-frame formatting problem on the articles, essays & reviews. Will likely scrap the template I was using.
  4. I don't like leaving things half-assed, but drunk friends need a ride.
  5. Oh yeah, I tweaked the martial arts page a bit as well.
May 10, 2009
  1. Deleted the "Contact Nandzik" page. Why do I need an entire page for an e-mail address? So my e-mail is now part of the navigation frame, which got a little bit of tweak itself.
  2. Also tweaked the main page introduction
  3. Organized the "Writer" and "What's A Nandzik?" pages more.
  4. Uploaded the "Martial Artist" page.
May 09, 2009
  1. We're now using a brand spankin' new set of nav-buttons! Woo!

  3. Added a quote to the bottom of the nav-frame
  4. Uploaded the "Tribute & Testimony" and "Photographer" pages
  5. Tweaked the Videographer and Main pages
  6. There's still plenty of work to do, so expect some more drastic updates in the days and weeks ahead.

Added another reflective paper I wrote up for my Environmental Ethics course.

September 7, 2006
Since I'm going to grad school full-time, and I'm required to read a lot of books and write a lot of papers, I figured I might as well post them here...at least the more interesting ones. Anyway, I've just added a new essay to the Samples Section, and changed the color of the links so they're not the same color as the border.

September 5, 2006
Another book review is now available!

August 31, 2006
I made the titles of the samples in the Samples section the links. Those little arrows were too obnoxious and, honestly, completely unnecessary.

August 28, 2006
I changed the background colors on the Samples page and the font colors on the About page because they were, well, obnoxious. I also made the menu on the About page less obnoxious. I also added a new section: Book Reviews. So far there's only one review up, but more should follow shortly.

New Section Added! The Book Review section is now up!

August 26, 2006
I revamped the About section so it's more coherent. In other words, I categorized everything to the best of my ability. Not much else to update, really. Suggestions are welcome though.

July 20, 2006
I decided to add the paypal merchant shopping cart buttons in the Products Section since I've had success with it in the past, and it only takes a few minutes to set up.

July 19, 2006
I've been really busy lately with work, but I've managed to add a new section -- the Samples Section! Until I get more work published, or I get really bored, there are four samples of poetry from Twombly McGreen vs. The Mean Steam Machineto whet your appetite;as well as my July 2006 article on easy eyecare for Mohawk Valley: In Good Health. I also added a little graphic on the mainpage -- just for fun.

July 10, 2006
I finally figured out how to use this site's interface thanks to Lance Wyatt! So please excuse the construction while I design and post the site. I hope to have this up and running by the end of the month.

June 27, 2006
New book in the works! I've got a new book in the works. The working title is Mr. Maro's Awesome Adventure! It is an epic poem in the style of a fairy tale that follows the exploits of an outdoorsman.
