My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Shameless self promotion...
affordable web design - www.firstbigstep.net
Is this really an efficient use of our tax dollars? Teetering on recession at home, and throwing money away overseas. Oh well, I guess the fed will just continue to lower the interest rates to try and avoid the inevitable... YAY, fiscal irresponsibility for everyone!

Music:

Pretty much anything except country (I make an exception for Johnny Cash and Willy Nelson 'cause they are too awesome to not listen to)

Movies:

Favorite movie of all time: Apocalypse now -

Television:

Nothing too exciting on tv right now..

Books:

Eric Meyers on CSS, ASP 2.0 Bible (the book that got me started), The Emporer Wears no Clothes (by Jack Herrar) , anything by Hunter Thompson, Paul Austere, Daniel Pinkwater, or any book about development or design.

Heroes:

Jesus, The Dalai Lama, Hunter Thompson, Ralph Nader (before he became crazy), Martin Luther King, Ghandi, the Apostle John
