About Me

I’m a software developer currently working with Windows, web and database development in C#, ASP.NET, Silverlight and MSSQL. I enjoy video games (possibly a little too much sometimes), softball, volleyball, fishing and tinkering with technology.

Net Neutrality
Like usual it has been a while since I blogged but a few things came up this week (Now technically last week) that caught my attention enough to make me want to write up something here. The second issue is going to send me off on a rant so I’ll save that excitement for later [...]

At carleton cards, trying to figure out if I'm a terrible person because I can't imagine giving anyone anything other than a sarcastic card.
