I’m Chad Calease and I originally built this site from scratch in the (gasp!) 90’s. It started life as my connection to family, friends, and clients while I was living/working in far-flung places, before social media. It was austere but great for collecting and sharing artifacts about people, ideas, and technology.

It continues to evolve, hopefully into a useful trail that helps someone find their way back to whatever they were trying to do before getting tangled in the ‘Net.
