About

Background

I started learning HTML in 1998 and my primary tool for almost a year was Notepad, until I found better text editors with syntax highlighting. I can proudly say I never used Frontpage. I was a Netscape user, because when IE crashed it would take down Windows 95/98 with it 90% of the time. Eventually I moved to Mozilla, then to Phoenix which became Firebird and then Firefox. Most of what I do at work would classify me as a Front-End Web Developer and Web Designer. My main skills are CSS, creating XHTML/HTML templates from Photoshop, PHP, Flash animation and SEO. Like many others in the Information Technology field, I have had a job in tech support and I have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science.

About this web log

I’m not a A-List Blogger or anyone famous, I’m just a web developer/designer that will write about the web, technology, electronics and general consumer shopping. You won’t find many reblog posts about big tech news, nor will there be lots of top ten lists. If the blog goes awhile without being updated, it’s probably because I’m busy working on a website or living life. I’ve never understood how other bloggers can take the time to make blog posts almost daily, while managing a separate full time job.

Notes

A note to the grammar and spelling police: I do reread my posts, but I do make typos, its the human in me. It seems catching typos on a monitor is harder than on paper.
