Welcome to my daydream! (Nightmare is too harsh a word for the stuff I plan to put on here.)
Well, here it is. My web site. I’ve owned my domain BrendanBecker.com since 2006. I did so moreso as a protection so that no one else would take it. Not that I had plans for fame, or infamy for that matter, it was moreso that I was in the Domain Name industry at the time and thought I should register the domain. The only thing I really did with it for a very long time is post my resumé so that I could have a quick easy link for prospective employers to look at something better than just a business card. This was when I was out of work and tried to market myself as best as I could.
I don't know if it really worked or not, I never really ran any analytics on the page to see if it was working. But it did give the impression that I knew what I was doing when it came to the Internet.
Now, here it is, a few years later. I'm thankfully gainfully employed and was realizing that I would like to finally use this domain for a few reasons.
So there you have it, the Introduction to Brendan Becker's web site. Enjoy it, hate it, annoy yourself with it, ignore it. It's all up to you. Be well.

- Every once in a while, I do like to post something... a rambling, a rant, a train of thought. I'm by no means a blogger who wants to commit myself to a specified publication schedule, a specific topic, or an article length. So with that, there is a Ramblings page. Things will show up there when I feel the urge to write. I might even grab a few archive posts from Facebook that I think were some of my better works.
- Links, links, and more links. I do like to surf the web. I've been involved in an Internet-related career for over 25 years now. (WOW!) One thing that I have been wanting to do for a while is to not have to worry about where I am when the mood strikes to have access to things that I find of interest. Bookmarks on web browsers can be helpful, but when I'm using a browser on my cell phone, that bookmark on my system at home isn't going to help much. Therefore, there will be my Links page. These are totally here for my use and enjoyment, but I do plan on adding a little bit of a description that may make some sense of what I'm linking to. This is for both your edification and my memory.
These links can be to a place that I want to go to, a video on YouTube that I find interesting, amusing, compelling, etc., a recipe that I want to try out, and much more. - Pretty pictures.... I find that posting pictures on Facebook to be someone tedious especially if I want to share it with others who either don't go on Facebook regularly or, would you believe, don't have Facebook at all (yes, I think there's about three people left). Hence, the Photos section. It could be a photo of me, my family, my city, or whatever else strikes my fancy. I may even post VIDEOS there... this technology thing is getting way out of hand.
So there you have it, the Introduction to Brendan Becker's web site. Enjoy it, hate it, annoy yourself with it, ignore it. It's all up to you. Be well.
