I am an avid Mac-user, nerd, musician, freelancer, and gamer. Ask me about my collection of M:TG cards!
I've also got a horrible habit of needing the absolute newest technological wonder, whether it's stable or not. If they made a home-version of the LHC, I'd have 2. And one of them would need constant repair.
Additionally, I've been playing music for the better part of 14 years. I'm self-taught on piano, guitar, trumpet, trombone, sax, clarinet, bass, drums and other percussion, and around 10 other instruments. I also spend quite a bit of time dabbling in synthesizers, sequencers, and samplers.
I've taught myself programming (mostly PHP and C++, with some MySQL thrown in for good measure) in my spare time, and web-design as a fun way to relax and pass the time.
My writing tends to focus on cellphones, music, gaming, and the technology utilized in all of the above. Some of what I post elsewhere is less focused, almost bordering on the ramblings of a homeless man who swears their jar of mayonnaise is heading up a conspiracy involving Bavarian dukes, Red Lobster, and the Mona Lisa.
