About Me



Late 30s geek-girl, unabashedly still re-living her 20s—currently living smack in the middle of a technology junky's paradise in Silicon Valley with the love of my life and NEW HUSBAND, Tim , and our very spoiled and furry baby, Charlie .

I'm a Web Developer by trade and hobby—the webmaster for SymphonyX.com (among others), a fledgling artist and photographer, and amateur baker . I cook. I code. I game. I read. I sew. I draw. I paint. I never sleep. 8)
Ugh. MySpace sucks. I'll probably keep this profile around to check in with everybody else, but if you're looking for recent news about ME you'll have to look elsewhere.
