The internet is full of personal web pages. Most of them assault you with animated images, pictures of family pets, and embedded MIDI music. This is not one of those pages. Sure, I could stick pictures of my dog up there, but do you really care? Off hand, I'd say that the answer is "probably not".

I've always had this knack for getting myself into all sorts of odd situations. It's not like I go out looking for all these problems, but I certainly find them often enough. One day, I sat down and thought about a few of the messes I've been in in the past and decided to write a few of them down in my .plan file over at icculus.org. Much to my surprise, people were actually reading the thing and requesting more stories. Now you can read through hundreds of kilobytes of .plan stories that detail adventures involving fire, blind dates, engineers, weddings, and attempts to take over the world. It's that little .plan link over on the left side there. Go ahead and take a peek. We'll wait.

I fiddle with a lot of side projects in those whopping 30 free minutes I have each month. The Projects link over there shows you a few of the open source and commercial software projects I've worked on in the past. To my knowledge, all those projects are still alive and kicking, so go check 'em out.

Next up is the College link. It's a snapshot of my life back when I was an undergraduate computer science student. Back then, Pentiums were an amazing new technology. A meg of RAM cost about the same as a new car. Dinosaurs roamed the Earth. It was a scary, barbaric time where day-to-day survival was measured in packets of Ramen noodles. It's a .plan-esque look at dorm life, but with a much larger emphasis on the "fire" and "adventure" aspects of the experience. In fact, it's pretty much about blowing things up. Spiffy, no?

The link to the ARCADE project shows all sorts of goodies about a side project that was thrust into the limelight because people just seem to love the thing. It's the Arcade Retrofitted Computer Allowing Dedicated Emulation, which is a fancy way of saying that I hollowed out an arcade game, crammed a computer in there, electrocuted myself a bunch of times, and ended up with an arcade machine that plays about a variety of old games. It's still a work in progress, but it's pretty interesting stuff.

The link to my Resume is one of the few pieces of proof that I have which shows that I didn't just waste thousands of dollars on higher education. It's a good way of showing how I got from here to there. Or something like that. Am I an unbridled genius who gets promoted a lot or just some putz that is incapable of staying at the same company for more than a year at a time? You be the judge.

So that's about it. Got everything? Good. Enjoy!
