Welcome
You've stumbled on my personal website. Feel free to browse around.
You can get an idea of my professional life from my linkedin profile here:

shift8solutions is an IT organization that I created to provide easy to use and inexpensive tools to small business owners.
My blog is just an asterisk and it is about making technology simple.
Sometimes (rarely), I post interesting links to my twitter account @justansterisk.
When I'm not doing those things, I design a website or two (for example) and design my own t-shirts.
I'll put examples of my current projects in posts, so check back from time to time.
If you want to contact me, you can email: ab@alexbaker.me or ab@justanasterisk.com
I'm happy to discuss both new projects and past work, so please feel free to reach out.
