I am a nondescript and quasi-forlorn bastard who also happens to be a geeky web person specializing in all manner of Web 1.95ish™ accessibility, design, and usability stuff. In my spare time (all forty-two minutes per day of it) I practice intensely at living a rather solitary, poore, nasty, brutish and short life1 much to the chagrin of my immediate family, whom I vaguely perceive as that woman I'm certain I married at some point and those small, loud, and dangerous people living in my home.

I am want to pursue various nerdly habits, including but not limited to: AI/Robotics, RF Communications, Game Building, Amateur Radio, Amateur Astronomy, Operating Systems, Flash Design and Actionscript Coding, Flex and AIR app building, Web Applications, Content Management Systems, Frameworks, AJAX, XML, XHTML, CSS, and even Python. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, pfSense, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, R/C Helicopters, Aerial Photopgraphy...

Work Stuff

As stated previously, I'm a web designer and technologist. This means I design web things- I also obsess over gadgets and software in a way that ordinary folks find annoying or disturbing2.

Presently, I am learning about Adobe Flash and Flex, (evil, non-open, lily-gilding technologies- for the purists) but I cannot speak any further about this as I recently signed an agreement forfeiting my right to free speech, and consenting to working sixteen-hour days in an office cubicle fashioned from old pizza boxes. An additional clause of said agreement mentioned something about relocation to Storage B, and I'm just not sure I can handle spatial demotion of that magnitude at this time.

Perhaps my biggest claim to fame lately is a custom collection of Photoshop actions which are able to highlight features in anything purportedly a Homo sapiens, and accurately gauge whether in fact the creature is a duck or a witch.

I am currently uncertain about the general usefulness of these tools in modern times, so I'm a bit hesitant release them to the public at large.

2. 2. Hell, some geeks even find it annoying and disturbing, but that's only because they got their start in the nerd game on the cusp of the twenty-first century, and are therefore the technological equivalent of bed-wetting three-year-olds.
