Interestingly enough, we have been contacted recently for a possible West Coast Guam Reunion sometime now that we are out here, and I have to say I’m rather excited about the possibilities. For one thing, it will require me brushing the dust off of the guamreunion.com domain and actually coming up with a theme and [...]

Well, OK, it’s not much of a Phase 1 – more like Phases 1, 2 and 3 all rolled into one simple demo, but for my purposes, the name will suffice. Many different ideas and techniques have been rolling around in my head for months, and I finally decided to try and find a simple [...]
