Hello, I'm Jim Bumgardner, a software technologist, teacher and devotee of recreational programming (that means I like to do it on weekends too).

I am the inventor of The Palace, a mid-90s avatar chat system. I am the proprietor of KrazyDad, the website where I sell and give away a few of the hundreds of software toys I make every year.
