Hi, I’m Jason, And I’m A Webaholic …

Aside from that, I am a well-seasoned, self-taught, hobbyist web-programmer, computer tech, and shoulder to cry on with super powers that include, server and database management, database-driven websites, content management systems, advertising, streaming media, embedded media, online media presentations, HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, MYSQL, SWiSH script, Flash, XML, jQuery and various and sundry other IT stuff that I can barely pronounce, but know how to do. I know a little about everything, but not everything about anything.

This is where I develop, experiment, design, test, and occasionally post my web-projects, code snippets, applications, and whatnot. I am usually cooking up something, so check back every now and then to see what is new!

Yes, I do offer technical support, custom design, and web-programming. More details are on the Contact page.

Generally, when css display none is used, the hidden content is intended to be inactive.
