Welcome to ronchatman.com! Welcome to my little slice of heaven on the internet. It's another one of those darned personal websites, subjecting you to my P.O.V. on life through the usual digital arsenal. There's a blog, photo gallery and any number of ways to interact in cyberspace and meatspace too!
They Call it the Magic City... It's a great place to live, and I'll try to share some of the things that make it special with you.  Birmingham is graced with everything from natural features like fantastic underground caverns and beuatiful gardens, to man-made wonders like giant blast furnaces and one of the best attended concert facilities in the US.
It used to cost 5¢ to have this much fun... No...it's not an ordinary job.  Over the course of the past few years, I've met some interesting people and done some cool things.  Consider this the (semi) official record of that path, as edited and amended by my head.  Just remember that history is usually written by the victors.  Usually, I said...
Pass it on. Having fun? Be sure and return a little something to the cosmos before you go. Times are tough and there are folks that could use your help. Money works, but a gift of your time and talent works just as well. Think of it as a gift made up of your gifts. If that's not too 'meta' for you, let's get started!  
A kick inside... There's all manner of stuff going on in my head. To avoid any long term damage, I have to let some of it out from time to time. Feel free to read as much as suits you. Just be sure to stop before you go blind. Or maybe when you need glasses.

Finding Ron on Facebook and Twitter

IMG00120-20100420-1814It's really not a surprise that I maintain a presence on Facebook or Twitter.  Even though my kids believe that no person over the age of thirty can (or should) do anything on the web, statistics indicate that the biggest growth in Facebook is coming from the upper end of the demographic scale.  No one seems to know if grownups are there to find their best friend from elementary school or generate a random hookup with their unrequited high school flame.  It is probably better that we don't ask.

In any case, if you want to find me on Facebook, there are a couple of ways to do it.  Hunting me down by name is easiest way, but as discussed elsewhere on this website it may yield an unpredictable result from time to time.  You can also hunt me down using a favorite handle from my old BBS days, "zencowboy7."  When Facebook started offering custom URLs, that's the one I hustled to claim.  Heck, I'll even throw in a link to make things easier.

On Twitter the same nickname applies, of you can click the link in the column on the right hand side of most of the pages on this site.  Twitter is the micro-blogging service that a lot of people have difficulty grasping completely.  It seems to be filled with zealous over-sharers and the occasional celebrity wanna be.  But it makes for a nice way to connect to friends "in the moment" as life flies past.  My brother and my son both have Twitter accounts.  So do the individual members of my son's band, as well as the band itself.

I suppose you could look me up on MySpace, but I hardly ever go there anymore.  My instant messaging accounts have fallen into disuse, with a few business friends and former work buds popping up from time to time to say hello.  Of course text messages, phone calls and emails are pretty effective ways of reaching me.  And if push comes to shove, you could always pay me a visit in meat-space and talk to me face to face.

But seriously...who does that anymore?

You. On the Web...

I can help with that.  Domain names, customized email solutions, websites and hosting. Those and fancier tricks up the old sleeves.

Do it...

Calendar

Important dates, holidays and notable time/space coordinates.  There are also some fairly random items as well...just for grins.

Tempus Fugit

Facebook & Twitter

Funny, I've heard of both of them.  And have a digital footprint in both places...mad, crazy scribblings of a digital nature.
