Diagramming tools, the information architect’s hammer.

How may I help you? No really, is there something specific I can assist you in? Ask me anything self-employed related, video game related, web related, or family/life related, and I'll gratuitously answer you directly (usually same day) or put you in contact with someone who can. The Smooth Harold Helpdesk is at your service via email.
Over the years, I've benefited both personally and professionally from kind and intelligent individuals over lunch. Yes, good people still exist. So if you're ever in the greater Salt Lake area and want to grab a friendly bite, don't hesitate to ask. All are welcome.
Video games are a big part of my life and keep me young at heart. If you'd like to wallop me online, be my guest. For Wii and DS, please send your game specific friend codes. For PS3 and Xbox 360, send invites to SmoothHarold.
