About Me....

I used to have an "About Me" page, but with the change to my new site, I've decided to change things up a little and make it a blog entry. The nice thing is that I've got the power of Apache behind me, letting me use a .htaccess file to redirect traffic from the old file to the new one - all dynamic like and such. It's super cool, really.

me

Father of 4 (as of this writing, 9 years, 7 years and 5 years and 2 years), and married to the love of my life. Computer geek by nature and by trade. I spend too much time in front of displays: tv, monitor, laptop. I enjoy all kinds of stuff, but lately I've been getting into putting home movies onto my website. Apple Computer (where I used to work) makes iMovie and FinalCut Pro - software which is pretty damn cool. Their computers are pretty sweet too!

I am very happily employed. Up until 07/05/02, I was semi-happily employed by the same company that laid me off on 10/5/01. I spent a year being Mr. Mom and trying to do freelance work and such. Then I worked for a computer store/VAR (Value-Added Reseller) in the New Haven area. They were an Apple Authorized resellers/service center, which made me happy - I got to play with newer computers, fix stuff, and just generally do what I like to do. Hardware stuff - fixing computers and such - but I also do software support. I now work full time for a local University that I graduated from (sorry to not actually say it, but you can't be too careful these days....). I have a regular schedule, I get to wander around campus to fix things, and I work with people that I like and respect. Oh, and I don't hate it - in fact, I finally enjoy my work again.

What else do I do? User interface and design for both kiosks and internet sites. Design work. Tech stuff. Internet stuff (webhosting/config/etc). You could say I'm a jack of all trades.... Email me for my resume for more info. And if you wanna hire me, that'd be cool too.

Why is this site here?It's a bit of an extension of my brain. A stream of consciousness, an online journal, a place to put my thoughts and share things with the rest of the world.
