About Me
Born in Manila, Philippines a little while back. I'm older than I look. Or act.

If you're really into astrology and must know, I'm a Scorpio and was born in the year of the ram/goat/sheep.

Currently residing in the popular (and slightly outr�) Queen/Spadina area of Toronto, Canada, in one of the hippest houses in the neighbourhood.

Cool, I managed to slip in a ten-dollar word, "outr�", into my profile!

Sharing the aforementioned hippest house with Paul Baranowski and Rob Strickler.

Current hair colour: Black with lots of grey (very Holden Caulfield).

Currently holding the position of TC/DC (Technical Community Development Coordinator) at Tucows, Inc. Having a blast while doing it.

I used to be a computer programmer and the Director of Developer Relations for OpenCola Inc.

Prior to that, I was a partner in and programmer for datapanik software systems. I shared that partnership with my friend Adam Smith.

And before that, I was a programmer for a clever multimedia company called Mackerel.

And before that still, a "perma-student" at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada where I got a B.Sc. in Computer Science. (Ask around, my kode-fu is good.)

I love music dearly. Punk, ska, goth, industrial, grunge, techno-electronica-jungle-rave-etc, hip-hop, r&b, classic rock, jazz, classical, Johnny Cash and this guy. And I attempt to cover it all on accordion.

By the way, it's spelled accordiOn, not accordiAn.

No, I don't really listen to Weird Al. Just as the Village People were both the high and low point for gay visibilty in music, Weird Al is the same for accordion players.

Yes, I read Accordion Crimes, and yes I liked it, even if the characters weren't likeable.

If you're ever on Queen Street West in Toronto and you hear Nine Inch Nails being played on what sounds like an accordion, it's probably me.
