A Call For Writers

If you would like to get in on the ground floor and help write for the new Juggle Chainsaws, now would be a great time to do it. Juggle Chainsaws is looking for 2-3 people with good writing skills who are interested in making life easier in some way. Remember that easier is a very vague term, and I use it that way on purpose.

Welcome to the New Juggle Chainsaws

Welcome to version 3.0 of Juggle Chainsaws. After a bit of a mishap, I’m taking the opportunity to relaunch this as something new. So instead of reading about my boring life with randomly scattered tidbits of goodness, the point of Juggle Chainsaws is to help make your life easier.

The new site will be up by 3 March 2008. I expect to actually have it up before then, but I’m giving myself some technical difficulty time.
