About

  • The opinions I express here, or anywhere online, are not necessarily those of my employer, family, friends, or any other sentient life form. In fact, they probably aren't necessary at all.

  • By day I'm a senior web developer (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP, etc.) as well as a tech manager for a small software company, which is to say I am a professional Cat Herder. Not familiar with that phrase? In the tech industry it's often said that:

    Managing programmers is like herding cats.

  • By night I'm the webmaster and technical consultant for several celebrity gossip blogs including Celebrity Smack Blog, Amy Grindhouse, Dipped In Cream, and Celeb Dirty Laundry. I also do custom WordPress development.

  • By 4AM I am sleepy.

  • In my spare time I'm an aspiring screenwriter, tech entrepreneur, and avid game enthusiast. (board, computer, card, RPG, mind... it doesn't matter to me, I just love games)

  • I've been actively blogging since 2001 and have been online since 1992. In December of 2009 I decided to wipe out my old archives and start halfbrown.com with new content focusing on my two passions: technology and entertainment/pop culture. I'll be discussing social media, web development, and tech-related information and insights in general, along with a healthy dose of commentary on music, movies, and comedy. That's not to say an occasional non-tech or non-entertainment post won't creep up every now and again, though.

  • My favorite ice cream is pistachio almond. I prefer it on a sugar cone.

  • I love to shop, and I even like to shop for groceries!

  • I can usually see both sides of any argument, so I'm often (self-) appointed as Devil's Advocate.

  • My favorite things to drink are iced water, iced tea, hot tea, and ice-cold Coca-Cola. And yes, I can taste the difference between Coke and the liquid abomination called Pepsi.

  • I am of the opinion that bacon should be in a food group all unto itself. Because bacon is just that delicious.

  • My favorite color is black. No, it's cranberry. No black. Damn.

  • I love to cook, but I hate to bake.

  • I'm a fairly stereotypical Aries; but I do have a sensitive side too. That means if we're watching "The English Patient" I might start crying when Ralph Fiennes walks out of the cave with Kristin Scott Thomas. And if you laugh at me for crying I could sock you. See... that's how a sensitive Aries rolls.

  • I'm very funny. No, I will not make you laugh on cue. I said I was funny, not a trained monkey. :)

  • When I was little I was so skinny that you could see my heart beating in my chest. I am no longer that skinny.

  • I don't mind cleaning the bathroom, but I hate to vacuum.

  • I love carnival food. There's nothing like greasy food and spinning rides to make for an interesting evening.

  • My Top 5 favorite US cities (in no particular order) are Seattle WA, Boston MA, Las Vegas NV, San Francisco CA, and Annapolis MD.

  • In 2005 I discovered and subsequently fell in love with the Blues. Buddy Guy is an amazing blues guitarist, and you should see him play if you get the chance.

  • I am very musical by nature and I currently play the guitar and drums. I love the Fender Telecaster and DW drums. I'll sing karaoke, too.
