A geek’s home page — St Paul, MN

Picture of the moment -- February 2009 -- My favorite picture from our trip Big Bend national park

BigBend

The tradition on this page is to put a new picture up every few months.

This one is my new wallpaper photo -- I took this one at Big Bend national park while we were running away from terribly cold weather in the upper Midwest.

Older Pictures...

This one is a picture I took in December 2008 as we started our standard "evening walk" up 3-finger valley just after a little snowfall. No tracks!

This one is a picture I took just after I'd finished mowing about 20 acres of the very last field that we'll plant into prairies.  All the rest are done, this is the last time I'll look at a field like this.

This one's from an Evening Walk in May 2008 here at the farm

This one is another picture from our place -- a restored prairie in the fall

Introduction
Hello and welcome to haven.com haven2.com, my little home on the Internet. I’m a retired geezer, Internet, radio, systems, management, entrepreneur, organizer geek type guy who’s now splitting my time between an urban-curmudgeon life in St Paul, MN and a rural native-habitat-restoration media-producing podcasting life in western Wisconsin.

Current Projects

  • ICANN Business Constituency.  I was the chair of the Fast Flux for a while, CLICK HERE to understand why I quit.  CLICK HERE to visit the working-group site.  I'm also working on several other working groups -- including the working group on working groups.
  • MN Ultra High Speed Broadband taskforce.  I'm a member.  CLICK HERE for the taskforce site, CLICK HERE for my user-rep blog (use this to send me ideas/comments)


Looking for my blog instead of this constantly-changing picture of the moment?

Click here for the latest blog entries (or follow the Blogs and Podcasts link at the top of the page).

What are all those other links up on top about?

I used to make my living as a freelance temporary CxO for hire, so there are links to pages about what I did and my bio. I have built a few handy project-management and systems-development tools that I share for one and all to use as well.

There's a little rant up there about my generic domain names (bar.com, place.com, corp.com and some others).

There's a lot of personal-interest type stuff. I accidentally became a Top-100 podcaster a couple years ago -- you can check those out on the blogs and podcasts page (along with my personal blog and a few others). I'm into woodworking and amateur radio so there are some pages about that stuff. And there are links to family members who have web sites.

Finally, there's the farm. That's where we live 5 days a week. It's kindof like living on (and maintaining) a state park and we figure we'll have that project pretty much under control in another 150 years or so.

How can I comment on the site, or ask you a question?

Here's a link to a comments and questions page where you can do that

Wondering why you got to this page?

I have a bunch of generic domains (like bar.com, corp.com, place.com, pub.com, shelter.com).  This is the default page for all those domains if there isn't a specific site set up for a URL.  You probably mis-typed (or mis-configured) the URL and this is where my web server dropped you off.
