Here's the interview:
*. Hey Micky! So finally you're a MOTM heh?
WHA??? MOTM?? Me? No way! Totally unexpected!!!! I mean, thanks! This is extremely cool!
*. So can you share more about you with us?
Sure thing... I am single, 30 years old, and living in
Eugene Oregon, USA.
I hate to admit it, but I was born and raised in Eugene.... I really need to get out! Maybe in a couple years I will move to a bigger city.
Um, I love animals... Especially cats.
*. What do you do for a living?
Currently, I am one of three full-time Web Content Editors at the local newspaper,
The Register-Guard... I was just hired-on full-time at the beginning 2008, but have been working there part-time since April of 2005.
When not working full-time, I do freelance multimedia contract work.
*. any hobbies? Music?
For sure!
Hobbies: I like to draw (when I can find the time.) I also enjoy taking pics and shooting video.
Hmmm, is relaxing a hobby? How-a-bout Surfing SitePoint?
For music, I like to play the guitar.
*. What's your story with the net?
Back in high school, my parents purchased a Apple 7100 with OS 7.5 installed. IIRC, I surfed the net with Netscape and/or visited Usenet groups... I have been surfing the net ever since.
*. How did you find SitePoint and why did you stay? what do you like the most here?
I registered back in 2004... I think I was searching Google for "PHP forums" -- Sitepoint was at the top of the list... I registered and the rest is history.
*. What sections do you visit the most?
I try to visit all sections, but my favorite and most visited sections are:
*. Your favourite OS and tools?
OS X. Leopard rocks! I own a Dell, and use XP/Vista, but I think Leopard has a few more nice features.
For tools/apps, I enjoy using all of the Adobe CS3 apps... Final Cut Pro... Um, SSHFS/Transmit/BBedit have been of great help to me lately. SnagIt 8 is nice for making tutorials...
*. Your favourite food?
Mmmmmm, Chicken Alfredo with Sauteed Mushrooms... :: drooling ::
*. Your favourite Music?
I enjoy pretty much all kinds of music... I am definitely a fan of electronic music. Here are a few picks from my iTunes music library:
- Krafty Kuts
- Goose
- Otep - Breed
- Shpongle
- John B
- Faithless
- The Streets
- Justice - d.a.n.c.e. (mstrkrft remix)
- Gorillaz
- Pretty much anything Annie Nightingale spins.
- Last but not least, any remix of a Phil Collins song!!!
*. What should be changed to make SitePoint better?
Wow, gosh... SPF is already so great. Hmmm, well, I really liked the new CSS reference... I think it would be great to see more reference material. Of course, more SitePoint web design books would be spectacular!
*. Now...Where's my coffee?
Mmmmm, coffee... :: drooling ::
My favorite coffee drink: Large iced coffee with 4 added shots, black. Zing!
*. Anything to add?
Other than a billion thanks for making me MOTM, nope.
