I’m a Blog Now

BenSilvis.com is a blog now!

In the past this website has been a random collection of projects I’ve either spearheaded or been a part of. I now plan to present at least a semi-professional portfolio and attempt to give a little know-how back to the web community.

Well.. I’ll flesh this things out over the next little while. Enjoy!
