So. I’m driving home from Four Green Fields tonight and I stop to grab some donuts and beer. After 11 pm everything in Tampa closes, even on the weekends, so I have to go to the Shell down on Gandy and Dale Mabry. Guy I know there is behind the counter as usual and I see he’s looking at something he printed from a web page. “What’s that you’re reading there, Ellis?” “Oh it’s for my job. Here.” and he hands me a cassette and a business card. Some type of lawyer thing. “You’re on line?” I ask. “Oh yeah, I love the ‘net.” “Hey check out my page – davidgagne.net,” I say. Girl in line behind me says, “Hey! Check out my page!” and we all start talking. Nice people. Sometimes, I am just astonished at the things that happen on this planet. Nobody showed at FGF; but I met some nice people and I always have a good time singing shanties.

What Is This?

davidgagne.net is the personal weblog of me, David Vincent Gagne. I've been publishing here since 1999, which makes this one of the oldest continuously-updated websites on the Internet.

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
