MikeLaren.com, so far all i have done is put a few things which i would like to have on there, it is not organized or laid out at all, there is no formatting, it is actually pretty ugly, but hey its been up less than 12 hours. Eventually I would like it to be a place where you can find out stuff about me, my projects, what i like to do, what I think is...
