The Role of the Closer

I don’t mean to turn my site into a baseball blog, but when the Yanks and Sox play (especially when they’re so close in the standings) I obviously pay closer attention to the games. I’m glad the Sox won last night, but I can’t help but think the Yankees could’ve easily taken it if they …

Kieran Chapman Design Site

Almost a full year after officially starting my own business, I’ve finally found the time to launch a site that’s more than a single page of info. You can visit the site at kieranchapmandesign.com and then hire me!

CD Storage Solution
