I started building web sites back in 1996, and turned it into a fulfilling career. Today, I maintain sites for fun and to support my PHP user group, in addition to building world-class applications at my day job.
I run a local user group for PHP developers, and set up a blog to share information about our group and what we’ve been up to.
It’s not a masterpiece of web design, but statetable.com is a useful tool for web designers who need a list of all the states, provinces, territories, or any combination of them. The data can be exported as a CSV file or a SQL script.
My wife an I acquired this company back in 2006. Goth isn’t what it used to be, but we enjoy making these spooky gifts and selling them online & off.
My personal blog started out as a way to learn PHP, then grew to be a large part of my life for several years. In 2007, I converted it to WordPress to take advantage of the powerful comment spam filtering tools available on that platform.
I'm one of the lucky ones. I write web applications, and I've made a career out of what I love for ten years. I'm also a cat shelter volunteer, an exercise walker, an avid Scrabble player, a vintage computer enthusiast, a Doctor Who and Star Trek fan, and a b-movie junkie. Somehow, I find time to write some fairly popular WordPress plugins and run the Suburban Chicago PHP & Web Development Meetup.
