About Me

Hello.

My name is James. I am a computer guru and self-diagnosed creativity addict. Since 1993, I have created things in professional, academic, and volunteer contexts using my computer. My experiences, in alphabetical order, include animation, application programming, database design, database management, illustration, layout for print, music arrangement, network management, photography, system administration (*nix and Microsoft Windows), system building, 3D modeling, video editing, web design, web programming, writing, and most probably other things that I can’t quite remember at the moment.

If something can be produced on a computer, there is a very good chance that I have created something like it.

I am very interested in the enabling factor of technology. I believe that advancements in technology, specifically advancements in personal computers, have opened up a wide variety of activities to groups of people for whom these activities would otherwise be out of reach. I am interested in helping to open up these activities.

Purpose

I created this website for several purposes:

  1. to serve as a gallery of some of my work.
  2. to act as a “sandbox” for using and learning new technologies.
  3. to be a source of inspiration for other creative people.

About Me

I have a love of order among chaos, especially in the digital realm. I appreciate beautiful, well-formatted code, and I am fascinated by the intricacies of nature. I look forward to being a father some day, and I am deeply in love with my wife. I am a believer and follower of Jesus Christ and our father in heaven.
