The Geek
I have been a computer geek since I started coding in Logo Writer on an Apple IIe back in the 4th grade. I quickly progressed to Basic, Qbasic, Turbo Assembler, C/C++, and Pascal. I used to want to be a game programmer and could actually write small programs in machine code in DOS.
That was a long time ago. I eventually started using Linux primarily. I actually did a few small coding projects, including: The E-PlayCD and E-Exec Epplets for Enlightenment 0.16, A Textbox widget for the Enlightenment Epplets library, a Tasklist App for the ROX Desktop, and a bunch of other smaller projects.
The Artist
I’m also a singer/songwriter and rapper. I produce my own tracks and play a few instruments. You can catch me trying to sing over on YouTube. I also have some original tracks that you can listen to here. I also just created a page on Last.fm.
The Bodybuilder?
I have always wanted to get bigger, but I never really got into weights. I hated weights, actually. I started working at a gym and suddenly, lifting weights didn’t seem so bad. I changed my eating habits and started on a strength training program. I have put on about 15lbs since I started last year. I can finally overhead press my 5yr old son into his bunk bed. You can see my progress here.
The Blog
This is about merging Web 2.0 and Social Media into my life to make it easier to succeed. A lot of people involved in internet marketing and sales view Social Media as some kind of cash cow. I prefer to use these technologies and social advantages to make myself more valuable to the world in general. If I can do that, I’m sure that monetary success will follow.
I have been able to make drastic physical and mental changes over a relatively short period of time. I would like for others to benefit from what I have learned.
