Currently I'm wrapping up my extended in and out career for my undergraduate degree in Business Administration - MIS at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. 12 Credits left and I'm officially done. It's been a long time coming.
I'm interested in all things computer related, but specific interests include graphic design, web design, audio and video work, and massive amounts of internet browsing. Currently I do small amounts of freelance work in any of the above (and if I could get paid to browse I would totally do it).
Besides school and the extended amount of time sitting at my desktop computer, I work for a large software company doing web and design work. I'm loving it so far as I can work out of my home (or HiFi coffee shop for the most part) and can set my own hours. Hopefully they will have a full-time place for me upon graduation so I'm crossing my fingers.
I also work for Redwall Prints out of Bayview. My friend Jeff runs the shop, and sadly I haven't been working much, but will continue when I have more time. Check out his shop if you need t's, hoodies, etc. He's got great prices and does amazing work.

Outside of the 80 hours or more per week spent behind a glowing LCD, I can be found at several local bars clearing my head. Mostly on North Avenue, and specifically the BBC. You will also find me at Cans, and Mad Planet... and several other fine establishments.
I used to be a huge concert-goer, but have cut back as a result of feeling too old seeing the bands I want to see, and the fact that the local venues seem to all suck. That and I am not staying on top of things well enough to remember all the shows I want to see.
I'm single and loving it. Quite content and staying busy, but always keeping my eye open for someone special. Wait, that wasn't a dating request. I don't look online. ;)
I'm a natural promoter of things that I like.
Current bands/artists that should be paying me:
Coffee, Cigarettes, Sleeping, eBay, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Macromedia Flash, Reason, ASP.NET, CSS, Visual Studio 2005, Tennis, Soccer, Biking, Beach, Bars, Clubs, Shows, Snowboarding, Skiing, Reading, NFL2K2, Dreamcast, Hot Sauce, Jack's Pizza
Modest Mouse, Stars, Smoke or Fire, Strike Anywhere, FOB, Regina Spektor, Protest the Hero, Underoath
Microthrills by Wendy Spero, A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore, Area by Phaidon Press, Murach's ASP.NET 2.0
I wish Virb would hurry up with their additions so I can start telling people it's worth comin' here!

Haha, you're there! Wasn't sure if you use this after you first showed it to me! Have you checked out Firefox 3 alpha yet?
