Site is Live!

The new site is live! And far from done.

Content of the old site will be updated over time to the new site. The old site (from 10 years ago) was a starting point and learning curve, but it hit a roadblock in terms of upgrading the site internals because it was immediately outdated since it started out.. and the new site was meant to replace this years ago but distractions and life kept coming in between.

Oil & Gas Heavy

Some will realize that stories - and history - on this site is biased to Oil & Gas Industries. They're right, and there's a good reason for this - because most records exist about these industries it was much easier to research and gather information from them.
