Let us know what you think of the new site here

Hello and welcome to our new site…well…it’s not really new, we’ve just changed a few things around and we’re gonna see where this takes us.  Please take a look around and let us know what you think of the new digs.

As for the purpose for this site, well to be honest, aside from some general info about us we just decided to create this site to have some fun and maybe have a chance to blog about some of our personal interests (kicks, technology, creative design) while we’re at it.
