Hello World

My name is Troy Carlson. I'm a web developer who has found himself more and more often exiled in SEO and marketing hell projects.

Don't get me wrong...SEO and marketing can be a lot of fun. I find myself flexing mental muscles that I haven't used in a long time (and boy, are some of them depresingly weak!) But a few weeks ago, I waas talking with a friend new to databases, and tried to explain the difference between an inner join and an outer join.

And realized I couldn't do it.

I have gone from someone who used to dream in SQL to someone who can't explain some of its simplest concepts.

So, that's what POPMATIC.COM is for. It's a place for me to try things out. To submit things to the world and get schooled in how little I know. To show off the few things I do know.

Plus, hopefully, it should be a boatlaod of fun.

To be continued...
