Vintage

If vintage is your thing when decorating a room there are certain items that are a slam dunk to throw off that vibe. An old stand up radio for a living room, a claw tub for your bathroom, or some old tools in your garage.

The nice thing about most of this stuff is that you can get it pretty cheap at flea markets and swap meets without breaking the bank. One thing that I'm learning is that the internet is not the way to get a good deal anymore. It's now the mainstream retail market, and to actually get a good deal you need to venture out into the dreaded real world.

Web Pages

I'm a computer programmer by trade, which is kinda like being a doctor. You have a very specialized expertise in one area of a large field and everyone you meet assumes you can do everything from fixing their Windows problems to web design Houston.

True, I have an aptitude for those things that most people don't but I can't do it all. Writing web service code does not translate directly to those things. Frankly web design is one of the harder things to do well.
