| * I've spent many years just toying around with computers, some of my first memories programming were at 6 or 7 years old copying down basic code out of the back of my IBM pc/jr, Commodore 64, and TI 99 manuals. I taught myself Turbo Pascal when I was in 7th grade. In high school I took an independent study to further my Pascal skills instead of taking a required intro computer course. | * I've spent many years just toying around with computers, some of my first memories programming were at 6 or 7 years old copying down basic code out of the back of my IBM pc/jr, Commodore 64, and TI 99 manuals.

| * I went to Michigan State University for a couple years, studying computer science. During my time at MSU, I was working for the Division of Engineering Computing Services. I stayed working for DECS as a full time web developer until March of 2005. I learned quite a few skills over the years in that field and I’d consider myself very knowledgeable in php, MySQL, PostgreSQL, HTML, css, Photoshop, JavaScript, as well as many other web related technologies. | * I went to Michigan State University for a couple years, studying computer science.

| - | * Photography | + | * Photography: |
| * I’ve always been interested, but I never really got into it until July 2005. I finally broke down and bought a DSLR camera. I got a Nikon D70s and a pair of beginner lenses. Still just a hobby though. | * I’ve always been interested, but I never really got into it until July 2005. I finally broke down and bought a DSLR camera.

| - | * I build an MP3 computer for my car back in 1998 before they had portable MP3 players. This basically was a computer built into the car, so I could play music from the hard drive instead of having to change CD’s. I had integrated a USB zip drive that I built into the dash board where I could insert a new zip disk and the files would transfer off to the hard drive of the PC automatically. | + | * I built an MP3 computer for my car back in 1998 before they had portable MP3 players. This basically was a computer built under some trunk space in the car, so I could play music from it instead of having to change CD’s. I fabricated a custom plexyglass case sized to fit, and I had custom fit a ZIP drive into the dash board where I could insert a new zip disk and the files would transfer off to the hard drive of the PC automatically. This was long before USB flash drives. |
| * In 2000 I built a web camera robot that you could drive around my old apartment from a webpage, using quite a few things that were never intended to be used together. I used a hardware parallel relay controller that I built probably 6 years before, to control this robot wirelessly. | * In 2000 I built a web camera robot that you could drive around my old apartment from a webpage, using quite a few things that were never intended to be used together.
