Bringing Rodney Bartlett (the website) back to life

April 26th, 2009

I've had this website for quite some time but it really served no purpose. I've just completed freshening up the look a bit to something more simple and streamlined. Now, I'm working to freshen up the content. So why do I have this website / blog. I guess you could say that it acts as a bit of a resume online.
