An Introduction

Hello! Welcome to a blog which I hope will appeal to all other geek ladies out in the blogosphere (though I despise the word "blogosphere" with every inch of my 5 foot 6 being...). I'd like to take a minute to introduce myself.

I've been a geek for as long as I can remember. When I was just a little girl, I spent my days and nights editing "config.sys" and "autoexec.bat" files on an old Gateway 2000 personal computer to simply get it to start up properly. Later, I was introduced to Visual BASIC where I played around and created a simple application to give you a horoscope if you entered your astrological sign (by the way, I'm a Leo). As a teen, I spent most of my free time designing websites. I must have re-designed my own website at least 6 times in the span of 4 years. It was in my teen years that I decided to enter the freelance world. My friend's wise words, "you know, you should charge money for this!" inspired me to go for it. Since then, I've been doing simple freelance web design and development for local musicians and artists. I eventually decided to major in Computer Science at New York University and have been developing websites (with benefits now!) ever since. I currently live and work in New York City.
