Well, Since you asked…
Howdy, Well to start off, I’m a 21 Year old dude from St. Louis Missouri. Yes, I live on my own, And yes I’m online alot. My life, for the most part revolves around 2 things: Design and Paintball. I’m currently attending college to get my Degree for Graphic and Web Design. I have been working with photoshop and Designing HTML Websites for about 4 Years now. My ideal job would be finding that laid-back firm with a steady client list. As far as Paintball goes, I play semi-professional paintball in several different leagues. I fly around the World for about 5 days a month to compete and I practice every single weekend. Other things I enjoy include taking pictures with my Cannon Rebel XTI and Playing XBox 360. I do have an iTelephone and yes, I do like it alot.
Geekery.
All of my recent and future work is done on a Mac. This is important for alot of reasons, but some major ones include: (1) OS X makes using our computers a joy and not a chore. Although it’s something we take for granted pretty regularly, it should not be overlooked. (2) The design tools and applications available for the Mac are um, well, amazing. Vectors come from Illustrator. Motion projects from Flash. All my webdesigns start out in Photoshop. The body is then usually coded through Textmate, allowing me to hand code the XHTML, CSS, and sometimes PHP. Sometimes CSS Edit is used to play with the stylesheets. I do use Dreamweaver some. I use Transmit to host my sites on Linux servers.
As far as hardware goes; A new 24″ iMac, 2.8ghz, 4MB ram, 750GB HD. Logitech MX Revolution. Of course the new Apple Keyboard. Wacom freehand drawing tablet. Some random, but Nice speakers. I do own a fairly-nice Toshiba 17″ Notebook. As far as gadgets go, I communicate through an iPhone, own several different IPods, take pictures with a Canon Rebel XTi, Play on an Xbox360, shoot paintballs with a 2007 Planet Eclipse Ego.
