I’m a software developer working for an ISV in Canada.  I’ve been developing software professionally since about 1997 (mostly on Microsoft platforms), and amateurishly since the 80s.  I wrote my first program at about age 10 on a Commodore VIC-20 and I’ve been unable to stop since. I contribute to the open source TweetSharp project to make it easy for developers working on the Microsoft .Net platform to make their applications social-media enabled.

I also futz around with guitars and drums, but won’t claim anything more than passable skill at either.

Most of my pet-peeves involve grammar and English language (ab)use, but I try to keep my inner grammar policeman in check.
