Welcome to theXgrid.net... a place for those who have arrived here, either on purpose or by accident.

This domain was registered in July, 2000 when I found out that Earthlink was going to close the San Luis Obispo, California Call Center of OneMain.com. OneMain had purchased theGrid.net the previous year (1999). I wanted to be sure that I had a means to stay in contact with my fellow Gridsters as life/school/work scattered everyone across the country. The employees at the Call Center were laid off a few days before New Years in 2000.

I really can't complain too heavily, I met my wife Darcy on my first day of new employee orientation. I also forged some good friendships that have lasted to this day.

I have bigger plans for this domain, check back later and I may have implemented some of those plans.
