About

  • Uncategorized

My name is Alvin Alexander, and this site is about my new life in Alaska. It's also about Alaska itself -- the destinations, scenery, wildlife, adventures, and the people -- all the wonderful things you'll see when you take your vacation to this wonderful place. I've been to Alaska twice before on vacations, but this year, 2007, I moved here. I left home -- Louisville, Kentucky -- on May 8th, and took plenty of time traveling up here, driving through the United States (the Lower 48) and Canada. After searching for a place to live for a while, I now reside in the small town of Talkeetna, Alaska, population ~800.


While I've been in Alaska I've also been working on my other website, devdaily.com. In particular most of what I worked on this summer was the Apple section of the site and the blog.
