I’ve been doing Web Design since they did websites in tables, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, that’s quite a while ago. Things have changed…

Code

I’ve probably been coding longer, since I was eight. I had an Apple IIe, with no programs - but there was a cursor, a manual, and basic.

I don’t like to go overboard, but I’ve spent all this time trying to figure out why I like code - and I think it’s because of my interest in life. Just like everything is connected in life, it’s so in code. Just like life is constructed, so is code. I think I’m mostly fascinated that code eventually becomes biological at some point.

I know a lot of languages, but I really enjoy anything open source, so often, I’m working in LAMP environments, and my strengths are in those areas.

Design

Even though I’m really a code guy, I saw no reason I can’t be a graphic guy either. I’ve always been able to swindle Photoshop or Gimp into creating some cool graphic.

It’s amazing, also, how far design and code have become inter-twined. For a ‘code guy’, the idea of designing something with code (I’m talking about CSS of course); it’s like hoodies on sweaters for us.

I really like pretty things, and it’s a shame that all these good programmers can’t make their presentation beautiful. Information is just as important as absorbing it!

Limitations

I don’t want to go blah blah on my sweet nun-chucking skills or anything, so I’ll just tell you that there are no limitations for what I can do or learn.
