What I've been up to 20.05.2007
I have been working on a few websites lately. I've added my latest to designs. I've also been blogging a lot and have had items published on DailyTech and Jesus Maifesto recently, as well as on my own blog and on WesleyTech.
One thing I'm wokring on is Art for Hope, which I'm excited about. I hope you might feel the urging to help with it. It will do great things for those who need the most help.
