I saw one of those commercials I heard Microsoft paid Jerry Sienfeld $10,000,000.00 to be in. I was totally confused right from the beginning.

Which led me to dream about driving around with Leo [...]

After some time of thinking about it. I finally decided to take action and redesign and rearrange my computer systems and studio layout. I began on Friday and pull all the systems out and come up with a basic more simple desk arrangement for the computers and TVs. This took me to 2am.
Saturday morning [...]

Steven Larson's Blog
Welcome to my personal blog, where I usually mention what I have done, events I have been to, stuff I have seen or possibly a thought or two. Its like my personal journal I keep for myself, but if you want to check it out, look at the pictures or watch my videos — feel free. My blog is mostly in a visual form with a little description tagged along with it, as I am not much of a writer.
Enjoy... though beware your about to enter the world of Steven Larson's Mind!
