Can you believe that it's 1998 already??? Sheesh, time sure flies once you take your first step into college doesn't it? For me that was 7 years ago. Holy shit!! 7 YEARS!!!!!! That's almost a decade!! And yet it feels like it was just yesterday. Maybe I just have a warped sense of time perception but it's just so weird when I stop and think about how much time has zipped by and I don't even wanna think about whether or not I wasted too much of it. =p Anyway, one thing that I am glad of is deciding to go with my current vocation as a web designer instead of toughing it out as some lab rat. I REALLY wasn't made for that kind of lifestyle. I mean the free cheese was nice and all but I just wasn't dedicated enough for that kinda job. ;-p So I'm glad that I'm now a web designer/programmer/jack- of-all-trades. Working at Global Leading Technology has been a really great experience for me and I'm glad that they saw fit to give a relative newbie like me a chance in the computer industry. My deepest respect goes out to Patty Rutins, current Grand Poobah/ webmistress/project manager/web developer/ SuperWoman at GLT. She's taught me a great deal and never ceases to amaze me with how much she knows. She's literally a fount of knowledge and she'll be sorely missed when she starts working long-distance from Vermont at the end of February.

She's just a great inspiration and if I can even be half as competent as she is after a year, I'd be the happiest person alive.      Some of you might wonder what all these pictures are that I have all over this site. Well, most people might put up pictures of themselves on their pages. I put pictures of my favorite anime characters instead. If you don't know what anime is, then it'd probably do you good to go to the following page. Plus, I don't think I'm particularly photogenic anyway so I don't have any pictures of myself lying around that I'd want to scan in for your enjoyment or mockery. =p (Sorry Cindy! ;-p But you never know... maybe one of these days if my keeper lets me. =) Cameras, they suck out your soul you know. ;-p Oh yeah, I'm currently redesigning my pages so if it looks like some pages that you will go through appear drastically different in style and polish than the ones here in the Introduction section, then I haven't gotten to those yet. Yeah I know most people will redesign their entire page offline first before putting it up all at once but I kinda like doing it in sections and putting them on when I'm done with each part so that I can get feedback and incorporate any comments in later pages. So thanks in advance to all my friends out there who take the time out to visit and who let me know if my pages blow chunks. =) Doumo!
