Age: |
I've been around for about 42.83 years (about 300 in dog years).

Gosh, that means I'm 375,192 hours old now.
Ah, I remember 375,168 like it was yesterday.
Of course, my age in hexadecimal is 0x03D11 days, and in binary it's 00011110100010001 days.

Sites I Helped Build: |
BigCharts.com
I did a lot of the ASP for the Industry section of BigCharts, and some bits and pieces of the rest of the site while employed there.
ShopNBC.com (formerly vvtv.com)
This was my first gig working for Plural (Plural was MMA at the time). I was an ASP developer, but I did some database work too.
Priceline
Priceline's Gasoline service (which is no longer available) gave me an opportunity to do some server-side JScript.
Garage Sale Planet.com
I built this one for myself. The site uses ASP, ADO and SQL. Post a classified ad for your garage sale, or find sales in your area. I'm particularily proud of the search by zip-code logic.
Polo.com
I was one of several web developers who helped launch Polo.com. ASP, XML, ADO.
