I am a twenty-five year old ([[October 3]], [[1981]]) living in [[Tallahassee, Florida]]. |
|||
I was born in the sleepy Gulf coast town of [[Venice, Florida]]. I attended [[Venice Elementary School]] (2nd-5th grades), [[Venice Area Middle School]] (6th), and [[Pine View School]] (7th-12th) before matriculating at [[Florida State University]] in 1999. I received a [[Bachelor of Science]] degree in [[Information science|Information Studies]] from FSU in May 2003. I stayed on for my [[Master of Science]] degree in Information Studies, which I received in August 2005. |
|||
In May 2006, I returned to Tallahassee after having spent two semesters pursuing a [[Ph.D.]] at [[Indiana University]]'s [http://www.slis.indiana.edu/|School of Library and Information Science] in [[Bloomington, Indiana]]. I am now employed as a Web developer at the [http://www.coss.fsu.edu/|FSU College of Social Sciences]. |

In my off time, I like to watch movies and listen to music, which just about makes me the most generic twenty-something ever. I also dabble in [[home recording]], and I play rhythm [[guitar]] (and occasionally [[bass guitar]]) in a local band. The music that I play and prefer to listen to tends to be heavily influenced by the music I listened to in my formative years: [[Soundgarden]], [[the Smashing Pumpkins]], [[Alice in Chains]], [[Nirvana]], and so on. I also have recently discovered the nuances of heavier music, e.g. [[Chimaira]], [[Slayer]], as well as any music by talented musicians, e.g. [[Dragonforce]], [[Dream Theater]]. I am a lover of all genres of music. |

I am a die-hard [[Apple]] [[fanatic]]. My first computer experience was programming [[LOGO]] on an [[Apple IIe]]. My parents bought an Apple [[Macintosh LC III]] in 1993, and I learned the secrets of that pizza box inside and out, programming [[HyperCard]] and [[FutureBASIC]] [[shareware]] -- some of which actually gained some popularity. The late 90s forced me to [[x86]] due to price and availability, but I dabbled in [[FreeBSD]] and [[Redhat Linux]] until [[Windows 2000]] finally offered the stability I preferred. Finally, in 2003, I bought my 12-inch [[PowerBook G4]] (867 MHz) and 3rd-gen [[iPod]], and I have no plans on switching back. (The iPod has since been replaced by a black 4GB [[iPod nano|nano]].) |
