Hello, friends. 

Thanks for once again visiting The Vertical Files. My pal Jeff and I will be posting whatever we feel like. It's an experiment in progress.
 
Jeff's a great guy, and will be sharing some great stuff. We've got more plans beyond these blogs, and hope you stick around to find out what they are. Jeff has already posted some great things, and I encourage you to check out his blog.

I'm still coasting on my old stuff. Check it out here.

Stay tuned... we got stuff...!
