A few people
have asked me "What's with the Samurai?" or "What's the
deal with the Japanese theme?" so I'm going to explain. When I
was young, I thought the samurai were a pretty cool looking bunch of
guys. I can't say I ever really wanted to be a Cowboy, but I can remember
thinking it would be bad ass to walk around and fight people with a
sword. As I got older, numerous research report assignments allowed
me, or should I say forced me, to learn more about the samurai. The
more I learned, the more I grew to respect the samurai, their set of
ideals known as bushido and their diligence to honor. Over
time, my boyhood fascination grew into adulthood admiration. It is in
dedication that I choose to decorate my webpage, and ultimately my life,
with the samurai. Web design is something I've picked up in recent years
really as a hobby more than anything else. I started out messing with
a personal site, which quickly fell into disrepair. My next exploit
came in the form of the website for the racing series I run in. We were
looking for a way to promote 944 racing and the idea of the series came
about. Without a website, we had nothing. I took on the responsibility
two years ago with limited knowledge. Countless web design sites and
many hours of experimentation eventually lead to the Cup's site. It
has changed over the years but I have tried my hand at a few other sites
in that time. Click the links below to check out sites I master. I would love to do website design for money but unfortunately
the time commitment for a site with monetary consequences is not something
I can make right now. In the meantime, I will continue to dabble here
and there with this website while doing my best to futher my site design
education. If you'd like to set up your own personal site, I would
be more than happy to help you get started. Like many hobbies, sharing
it with others is sometimes the best part of the experience. I won't
do it for you but I can certainly arm you with the knowledge to get
your own site off the ground in a few simple steps. If you're looking for someone to host your site
I highly recommend iPowerWeb. This site, as well
as 2 other sites I maintain, are all hosted by iPowerWeb and I've
never been anything but exremely pleased. One
of those sites was even transferred over to iPowerWeb after I stumbled
on to them by chance. 800 megs of space, a bajillion e-mail addresses,
40 gigs of transfer, a free domain name and lots more for as a little
at $7 a month is hard to beat. |
