About Me

If you want to post a flyer in my comments, go here instead: myspace.com/edgartronic

    I program PHP & ASP.NET for a living. I live with a drummer and a journalist. I love music. All kinds. Lately though, I've been into a lot of dance music. Every once in awhile, I play my records in public for people to dance to. People like asking me for advice. Not many take it, though. I'm a Mac geek. I'm fiercely independent. I've always been a collector of sorts (Transformers as a kid, records as an adult). I share my birthday with Napoleon, Samuel Adams & Elmore Leonard. I can always go for sushi. Always. I like bulleted lists. I'm a lifelong Depeche Mode fan.
