Me


What the hell is a 'blog'?
It's a weblog. It's my online journal or diary, with both writing and photographs. It's my petty pulpit.
Chronology of geekdom
I've been on the internet since 1991, back when the net was pretty much only mail and newsgroups. God that's so fascinating. I'm really glad I documented it here.
Where are you?
Born: Montreal (0-7yrs)
Raised: Vancouver (7-25yrs)
Live: Near Sacramento (25-35yrs & counting)
What do you do for a living?
Unravel cluster-fucks, sweat tiny details, push pixels around, and dick around with PHP now and again.
What is your design philosophy?
Pennies make dollars.
How did you make all this?
With lots of caffeine (my favorite bitter alkaloid). Everything else is served up by Movable Type (v. 2.62).

If you want a quick look at how the four rotating images on the main page work, you can read this.
Dude, the layout of your site is all screwed up!
The entire site is layed out using CSS. I have yet to work out the browser cross-compatibility issues. This means that Mac and/or Netscape users, and maybe others, will see the site layed out all crazy. Hey, sorry about that.

If you're on a PC using an older version of the IE browser, upgrade. Otherwise, wait while I work out the bugs.

If you're curious, here's a screen shot of what the site should look like.
Why are your pictures so dark?
Try calibrating your monitor. You might be surprised by how much detail my images contain.
What camera do you use?
Let me dodge this by saying I think Canon makes good digital cameras. You can't go wrong doing your homework at dpreview.com before buying.
Misc. Information
Should you really want to, you can syndicate this site (XML), but I have no idea what that means.
