The Alpha Geek – Geeking Out

Stressful Years – 2015-2018

We had one of those very stressful years running around the house trying to accomplish a lot of tasks and working on a lot of new things. This did not give me even a few free minutes to post the blog.

There has been a flurry of activity around here in the past week as we are preparing for a launch later this week or next a bunch of new features for the blog and the site. I think that you will like what we have planned and I am working out the details as we speak, and wildly programming all the features so they work perfectly from day one. Please watch for a formal announcement later this week or first thing next week. Today there will be a lot of short post to catch up with a dry years.
