Mr. Pixel

A new day, a new post. I'm on a roll already. I'm part of a company that does web design and development, among other things, called Pixel Nation.

New Look

I'm in the process of changing the look and aim of up of this page. I had stopped using it so I thought changing gears would get me back in it. Here is a larger image of that new icon I just made for the header as part of the change.
