About
I am Virgil Lee Shelton Jr.
I have been building websites and solving technical problems since 2004, but that is only one part of what catches my attention.
I am curious about how things work, why people make the choices they do, and what happens when one simple question refuses to stay simple.

The back story
More than two decades of freelance work taught me to follow the problem.
The technical answer matters. So do communication, judgment, context, and knowing when a simpler fix is the better fix. The testimonials preserve what clients said after the work was done.
Why this blog exists
The side story is usually where I find the interesting part.
There are patterns, opinions, memories, mistakes, tools worth keeping, and questions that only become more interesting the longer you sit with them.
This blog is where I follow those threads. A post may start with technology, work, or something I noticed in ordinary life. I do not always know where it will end when I begin.
