There are two main reasons I have for making/maintining this site.

The first is most obvious. I'm a web developer by trade, and I like to have my own project(s) that I can work an experiment on/in, and this gives me an avenue to do so. It also lets me keep track of projects and see if anyone is interested in what I might be up to.

The second though is to use it as a baseline for a platform I'm trying to develop.
