So you want to know
more about me, huh? I think I'll start at the beginning
because that is generally a good place to start. I was born
in 1979 in Lehighton, PA and lived there until I was 23.
I attended Penn
State Altoona where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science
Degree in Business Administration, with a concentration in Finance.
After spending too much time in the bars and not enough
time looking for a job, I moved back home after graduation.
I worked a part
time job that I had since high school until I started
working at Monetize.com
in Lehighton. In June of 2002 I moved to Hazleton, PA where
I lived for almost two years. Since then I have lived in various
locations throughout Northeastern and Southeastern Pennsylvania, including Allentown, Hatfield and now Sellersville.

I know quite a few languages on various levels; Java, C#,
PHP, etc. along with MySQL, Linux and quite a few other
things I won't mention. Anything that I don't know, I am
always trying to learn in one way or another. I'm also A+
Certified, but haven't done much with that yet. I wanted
to get certified for quite some time, and I finally did
on my birthday in 2003.
I have quite a few computers and computer related products.
If I didn't, I would get my geek status taken away from
me, and that would not be cool at all. I like trying ridiculous
things, just to see if I can get them to work. Sometimes
I spend more time with my computers than with my family. This seems to be a common theme with my kind.
I've had bighar.com since September of 2000, and harrywynn.com
since July 2003. I've done quite a few things with the site
it in that period of time. I started blogging in May of
2000, and have done it on and off ever since. If you don't
believe me, you can check out my Blogger
profile for living proof. I was reluctant at first to
start doing it again, being everyone and their brother has
a weblog now. I thought about it for a good ten minutes
and decided to give it a go one more time. I don't link to
any archives, previous versions or any other crap that some
people hold onto. The past is exactly that, and I don't
need to relive it. If you really need something that was on this site in 2002, I'm sure you can find it.
I am the brains behind the once popular commenting service
BlogSpeak. After my host shut down the site, HaloScan
acquired all of my users (6,000), then I released the source
code. Check it out if you're running PHP & MySQL
and looking to add some quick and easy comments to your
site. I also wrote and update a free app called PSP
Shuffle, which more or less shuffles random content
onto your PSP. I also started Blog
Mapping quite some time ago, which never really took
off, but still gets random hits every now and again.
I currently work for a company called BrickSimple
doing web (an occassionaly desktop) application development. I also have a side business called
Concept Cache that I started in January 2008.
While mildly profitable, it definitely does not support my habits, including eating and providing shelter for my family.
I hope to change that within the next five years.
I have a daughter named Kasey, a wife named Kristin,
computers named Lumbergh, Milton, Samir, Joanna, Symkowski and Peter, a TiVo
named Drew and another one named Michael, all sitting on
a network I like to call Initech. I like to name things.
It helps me keep track of them better.
That's pretty much it for what I want to write here. I
could go on and on about my life, but I'll spare you the
pain. Besides, that's why I'm planning on penning a book.
Everyone should try and write a book at least once, right?
If I think of anything good that I forgot I'll add it in
the future. Thanks for reading. |
