This site is mainly here to host a diary for my photo website. I noticed that I started to collect a large number of photos and that as time passed they began to lose context. In addition there are some great photos mixed in with a large number of ordinary photos. If I can’t be bothered to go back through and find them who else can?So this site will attempt to add context to the trips and photos I have collected and will add in the future. I will add other items that I might find interesting so that I can reference back to them here. Books, DVDs, links, who knows. We’ll see how it goes.Warnings:1. I am a “pants” writer. Hopefully I will get better but if not feel free to look at the pictures you like and ignore the babble.2. I am a “pants” designer. Hopefully someday I will get the CSS and look of this site into an acceptable condition. Until then, look at the pictures or even better send a cool CSS.Origins of Hillsidelounge:Hillsidelounge all started way back in 1997 in a house on hillside road in Edina, MN. Jake, Phil, and I were living in the lap of luxury at that time. Now, many years later I’m living in across the world in Singapore.
