About

So who are you?

Can’t guess by the website name? I’m a 25 year old web programmer living in Orlando, Florida. I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology in May of 2005. I’ve lived in Florida my entire life up to this point, and love to make fun of my home state. I enjoy programming for Ruby on Rails, and think it’s the most exciting time ever to be a web programmer. I’m terrible at design, but I’m good with CSS and know what looks good once something is finished. I’m always on the lookout for things to make me more productive, and when it comes to development I have a lot of fun playing with Javascript, interface design and most recently Adobe Flex.

Spare time and Interests

Far too much of my spare time is spent reading about computer related topics you read about here, but there are a few interests that can tear me away. I spend a lot of time with my girlfriend Marilyn who lives with me. We’re both avid movie buffs, watching great films regardless of the country. I have thing for HK, Korean and Japanese movies, and wish they didn’t cost so darn much over here. I play a few video game lines as new games come out for them, but rarely does a new franchise draw me in. The ones I do follow religiously are Dance Dance Revolution, Final Fantasy, Halo and Metal Gear; and would probably play any incarnation of those. I read a lot of books, though they’re pretty much all programming or science related at this point. I like exploring Orlando and finding new places, and love going out to eat as at many new cuisines as possible. As far as food goes there’s (almost) nothing I won’t try.

This Site

This site, if you can’t already tell, is basically a programming blog with an Orlando focus. I’ll attempt to write new articles as I learn new things, opinions and anything interesting I run into — same things you’d expect anywhere. It’s always fun to keep a journal of your progress on something. You might notice that some of the posts on this site are older than the domain itself. That’s because even though my journal locations have changed, I’ve saved many technology/programming posts to here. This site is powered by a combination of Dreamhost and Wordpress.
