Hi, I'm Jamie Dolan.

I live in Neenah, Wisconsin. For more than fifteen years I have been writing here about our dogs, the garden, photography around the Fox Valley, and whatever I happen to be building lately. These days that means small web tools and games that run right in your browser. Have a look around.

Dogs →A few hundred posts about my Shih Tzus and the rescues who came through. Raw feeding, dog of the day, and a page for each dog. Photography →Dogs, the garden, sunsets over Lake Winnebago, fireworks over the water. The photos I keep coming back to. The Garden →Zone 5 gardening, a long bonsai streak, houseplants that refuse to die, and a weeping willow that grew too fast. Cooking & Coffee →Home coffee roasting, low and slow on the smoker, and whatever is coming out of the kitchen. Recipes, the farmers market, and a fair amount of pulled pork. Around Neenah & the Northwoods →Parks, beaches, small businesses, and trips up to the Porcupine Mountains, all close to home. Technology & the Early Web →Running an internet provider in the 1990s, the early web, and a few notes on the web since.
