this.Developer Persona

Following the meme that Tim started, I thought I'd answer the Developer Persona as well:

  • 33 years old
  • Married for over ten years and has three kids. (Along with cats and a flatulent dog.)
  • Drives a Toyota Highlander Hybrid (which got a flat this morning)
  • Bought a home a few years ago. No idea what style it is. It has walls, floors, and ceilings. Oh, and windows too.
  • Is slowly becoming a Mac convert. Uses a Mac laptop and will have a Mac desktop this summer.
  • Thinks Children of Men should win everything. Twice.
  • Just a tiny bit into Lost (ahem), Battlestar Galatica, the Office, Heroes, and other good "geek" tv (launching GeekTheTube.com soon). Watches a soap opera that he won't admit the name of...
  • Likes to play snowboarding on the XBox. Real life? Um - no.
  • Food. Yes.
  • Musically tends to prefer progressive, dance, and classical. Big into "classic alternative" and the "Shoegazer" subgenre. Really like female-led bands (Lush and Curve are in the mix right now). Recently got into Public Enemy.
  • Doesn't get why Youtube is as popular as it is. (And secretly wishes he had invented it.)

You know what time it is, don't you Ray.

Um, Ray, you forgot to mention your Mini Cooper in your bullet about your car. :-) Sorry, had to say it. So, did you ever get rid of it? Any good resolution?

For those not understanding what I refer to, see:

Hmmmm... Wonder what the base for a real this.Developer structure would look like? {evil grin as mind begins churning over a new coding project}
