About

Snipe.Net has been around for over a decade, in various incarnations. Originally, it was a personal website, offering web design tutorials, ASL (American Sign Language) videos, and a blog - although they weren’t called blogs back then. (And I walked to work uphill both ways in 6 feet of snow, barefoot. Oh, and cars were a dollar.)

For several years afterwards, Snipe.Net sat somewhat dormant, as I was blogging elsewhere, specifically LiveJournal. Finally, in June 2008, Snipe.Net was resurrected with a new purpose and new design. Well, more of a return to the old purpose, really: bringing the best of web development and humor to the masses. Great tools and tutorials, geeky humor, and whatever else strikes our fancy - just like the good old days.

This site is as much a place for me to keep track of cool stuff I like as it is a service to anyone who stumbles across it. If I have found a service I think is really useful, or a website that knocks my socks off, or if I’ve struggled with and worked through a problem that I don’t wish to have to work through again, this is where it goes.

I’ll be bringing back the old PHP and mySQL tutorials as well - in the meantime, you can find them on old.snipe.net.
