Welcome to the new Who Is...? site. After 7 years of rocking an old site using a pretty dated design with out-of-date software, I finally got to updating it. It has been a perennial theme on this blog of very long hiatuses and vain attempts to catch up. 

With the start of the new year, I've made changes to the websites I administer. The biggest change is that I've moved them from a cheap shared hosting account to a virtual private server (VPS), a middle ground between shared hosting and a fully-dedicated physical server. If you've loaded this website in the last week or so, you've probably noticed the biggest change, speed.

After yet another long hiatus, almost of 2 years in the making, I've returned once to again to survey my domain that is shawnconn.com, aka Who is the Man with the Name that Rhymes? I wish I could have said the hiatus was because of fantastic new adventures, but its been more like the opposite; boring soulcrushing days of seemingly non stop tumultous events that I try not to get too worked up about. The result is the author not even wanting to touch a computer, let alone think about updating a website. That recap has a little hyperbole in it, but somedays it feels that way.
