This is my stake of digital land on the internet.\u00a0 It is my home and\u00a0refuge in the binary world of the 21st century.\u00a0 I love to check out new things, watch new movies, eat at new places and I created this website to share my experiences with those who care to listen to what I have to say about them.<\/p>\n
Many, many, years ago, this website came about as an exercise in fun, learning and a yearning to be free from the confines of most available cookie cutter web hosting services. Creating my own content, installing my own blogging software, modifying my own CSS, and playing with PHP have been fun and having my own email domain was definitely a plus. Over the past 25 years or so, the site has gone through a couple of different designs. \u00a0These days I\u2019m running the site within a WordPress\u00a0<\/a>design.<\/p>\n Around the middle of 2012, I began a new stage in my life where I wanted to lose some weight and decided to try the\u00a0Medifast<\/a>\u00a0plan. I\u2019ve never dieted before but I needed to shed some weight (ok, a lot of weight) and figured I might as well chronicle it in a journal of some sort. What better way than to share my experience on my website and blog that needed some new material. \u00a0I lost almost 60 pounds on Medifast dropping from 299 to 241 lbs within about 4 months.\u00a0\u00a0If you\u2019re interested in reading all about that journey you can start with\u00a0My Medifast Journey Begins\u2026<\/a>\u00a0or look in the May 2012 archives.<\/p>\n Over the past few years I\u2019ve picked up a few different hobbies that I will be adding to the site.\u00a0 I’ve visited many different countries.\u00a0 My wife and I became certified in Open Water SCUBA.\u00a0 \u00a0I\u2019ve journeyed along the Bourbon Trail. \u00a0I started dabbling in the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, PLCs, home automation, 3D printing and breadboard electronics and throughout it all I\u2019ve been keeping up with the ever changing world of computers.<\/p>\n Thanks for visiting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is my stake of digital land on the internet.\u00a0 It is my home and\u00a0refuge in the binary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"page-full.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rogue-cavern.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rogue-cavern.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rogue-cavern.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rogue-cavern.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rogue-cavern.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rogue-cavern.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rogue-cavern.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
