In honor of the 20th anniversary of my acquiring marchtwenty.com, I can share some of the history of this domain name and branding. Before owning marchtwenty.com, I utilized march-twenty.com and then marchtwenty.net.

I have a long history that goes back twenty years of making my texture maps from photos I have taken. In the early 2000s, I was heavily entrenched in 3D modeling and animation.

I've been monkeying around with WordPress for the last month or so. I think I now have a pretty good handle on its inner workings, so I've been able to make this theme a little more compact and unique from the pedestrian default look, of my old theme.

I really like having a personalized wall calendar. Normally, I have been using the freebie calendars provided by a realtor, which isn't all bad, because they're peppered with virtually all the local events.
