This is not about eyeglasses.
I created a variety of lens sites about some of my passions and hobbies. This lens will serve as a table of contents to my other lenses and web sites, plus a place to post my resume (if I ever get around to it) and a soapbox for whatever I happen to be thinking about at the moment.
