Ron Charest’s Features

Most of my humble blog posts are under 1000 word essays / rants / rambling family stories with no point. Those are the types of stories I can sit down and write in a day’s effort. But then there’s all the rest of my work that tends to run on for several pages.

I normally write these long stories as posts because that’s how this blog is setup. But I’ve decided to keep them indexed separately, as I consider some of these pieces to be my best work.

I’ve also created several complex web page projects which don’t fit into the normal blogging flow. These projects are also server resource intensive and slow down page loading on this site. As a result, I’ve moved them to a stand-alone mirror site.

These are Portfolio Projects Hosted on my Mirror Website

COVID-19 Timeline Project
My All-Encompassing Coronavirus Timeline of Events
My Educational Autobiography
This is one of my web projects I’m especially proud of.
Reflections
