Who is this person?
I am a man named Drew Vogel. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio in the United States. I live with my wonderful wife Wendy, to whom I have been married since December 31, 2003, and our animals… Dogs: Dolly, Bean, and Buster and Cats: Merrick, Oliver, Ringo, Mr. Face, and a still-unnamed little white cat.
I was born in October 1967 and Wendy was born in September 1971.
What’s he all about?
My hobbies and interests include gourmet cooking, culinary education (I am an adjunct instructor at the local culinary college), scuba diving, pets, live theater, movies, home theater, HTPC (SnapStream), IRON CHEF, reading, Mazda Miata, and music. Each of these activities touch my life almost daily and give me immense pleasure.

What are the tools?
If you’re interested in the nuts and bolts that runs this site, I use WordPress to publish this weblog because of its flexibility, expandability, and user community.
The site is hosted on a hardened Apache web server on a Red Hat Fedora Core server. Offline stuff is written in TextPad and images are manipulated in Photoshop or ACDSee on a Windows XP machine before being transferred to the webserver. The server resides in our local datacenter.
What is this syndication thing?
Traditionally a syndicate is an association which undertakes a specific business or an agency which sells comics, articles, or photographs for publication in a series of newspapers at the same time. In the world of blogs, however, it has become a term for feeds that are readable in a newsreader. The seemingly most popular syndication protocol or format is RSS. Below I have a link to a RSS feed for my blog.

RSS feed
The RSS feed I provide is based on the RSS 2.0 specification. RSS is a standard for syndicating frequently updated content from a site using a newsreader. To use the feed, copy the link (above) for the RSS file into the Subscription panel of the newsreader application.
