Not quite Spiderman.
Not even “Sheepman,” (as my 3yr old nephew says he wants to be).
I’m a dev (developer). This isn’t just my profession either — I breathe and dream it. This means that what is a simple task for normal people — creating a blog — a time hog for me. (Sure, I test-drove Blogger, and while it’s amazing customizable, I knew I’d get frustrated quickly). So, a quick (ish) .Text install (“ish” because it’s quirky and the installation docs I saw are just plain wrong!), plus many hours of code-wanking later and here I am …Finally introducing myself.
So besides my web/dev obsession: I live in Cincinnati, Ohio, happily married and father to two crazy boys (expect photo-evidence of their silliness some day), plus some neurotic cats. I’ve now been running my own consulting business for over three years, and it has been quite the roller-coaster adventure (it’s awesome but it stinks! expect some words on that too). That’s me day-to-day…
I’m also a big music fan. I like a little bit of most every kind (easier to enumerate the exceptions), and a lot of Rock&Roll and Funk (Cincinnati is the “Home of the Funk”after all). I’m also an occasional musician, and often a sound engineer (always a good excuse to avoid badly dancing).
I suppose I could say my views expressed here do not reflect that of my employer, but I happen to know he likes Funk too (self-employment’s good for that sorta thing)…
Eh, this’ll do for now. Nice to be met by you.
