Here you'll find assorted writings about things I'm passionate about. I'm not on any kind of deadline, and I'm not setting myself any kind of schedule, but I do hope to regularly update things around here and help provoke some thoughts. Whether you agree with me or not, I hope you'll find something here that you enjoy as much as I do.
I picked the name VHS Overdrive because it reminds me of the 80s and 90s, which is a part of my life that I'm often nostalgic for. It was a simpler time, and this is my way of trying to capture a little of that magic again. The color scheme was inspired by the old P3 phosphor monochrome displays that I did a lot of my coding on in college. They were old systems even by the time I started working with them, but again I have fond memories of that time.
So, here it is. My little homestead on the web. It’s been a long time since I’ve published a site, but I’ve got a lot of experience doing it - mostly because I’m just old. In any case, I figured that before we really dive into things, I might want to take a minute to detail just exactly why I’m going to this much effort. I’m not making any money at it, and I honestly don’t think very many people will read anything I put here. So what’s the point?
So there you have it. My justification for building this thing. It's probably delusional ego stroking, but I don't care. It's important to me to get some of this stuff out there, and If anybody else finds it interesting or useful then that's good enough. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy your time here. Come back every now and then; I might have something new for you.
