About me

I work for a magazine company, paint sometimes, go the the gym every day, and code standards-based web sites. I complain sometimes, but I try to make it interesting. Other times I celebrate. I like coffee A LOT and I'm part of the anti-Starbucks brigade due to their mediocre product and hostile strategies. I'm also an avid supported of Ubuntu Linux, though I still use Windows for some of the tasks that I find it best suited to. I won't be upgrading to Vista. Hopefully as Ubuntu meets more and more of my needs, I'll transition to it completely.
