(apologies to MetaFilter)
so, about me. I am a general computer nerd and music geek. my computing platform of choice is the Macintosh running OS X. I have 2 real jobs (though the realness of one can be debated), and I’m available for rental for systems integration consultation, network setup, web application development, and helpdesk ticket management consulting and development. in real life, i do mostly just the latter two.
as far as platforms go, I do love my Macs. I’ve actually gotten rid of machines that run Windows simply because they run Windows. right now, I’m rocking a 24″ iMac and a black MacBook, and both are simply awesome machines. I’ve also got the prerequisite iPhone. if I had a recumbent bike and a local Trader Joe’s, I’d totally be a standard-issue interned hipster.
musically speaking, my tastes are varied and incongruent. I used to be a metalhead in my earlier days (wasn’t everyone?) but now don’t much listen to it. don’t care much for most modern hiphop/rap and country (the older stuff tends to be better and OK though). favorites include Elvis Costello, Boards of Canada, Sigur Rós, Nine Inch Nails, Billy Corgan, Elbow, etc. etc. etc. - there’s far too many to list. I’m somewhat musically inclined; I’ve played guitar since about 7th grade (preceded by a stint in trumpet from 5th to 7th) and have been meaning to get into piano but lack decent equipment.
i don’t update the actual blog much (words r hard! let’s go ride bikes!) but am pretty active on the twitter. i’m also on technorati, i suppose, oDesk and LinkedIn and the standard crowd.
