Let’s see what this does: Mark Shields | Create Your Badge DeLorean Time Machine Rental on Facebook

I let the domain markshields.org slip through my fingers years ago only to see some guy put up a cheesy family home page that was never updated and wreaked of ”hey I learned how to make HTML in Microsoft Word.” That’s over with today with my acquisition of the domain. I briefly considered parodying that […]

If you know me, you realize that I am not a typical 38 year old guy. I don’t choose to go down the beaten path that all others have taken. Why should I? It’s more fun if you run to the beat of your own drum. Why should I do what’s expected and predictable with […]
