Here's the most professional of my online profiles.
I prefer Facebook to MySpace, though I'm not very good at keeping up with either.
Because it's ubiquitous, unfortunately.
Kinda like Twitter, but with some extras for file- and link-sharing.
Microblogging at its finest. Follow me.
Check out the music I've been listening to lately. Updated real-time.
A social site for collecting and sharing bookmarked pages.

With a prestigious background in traditional animation under Disney Studios and such films as "Mulan" and "Emperor's New Groove" under his belt, Kevin is a juggernaut of the biz.
Jav's got an amazing style and an ever-increasing ability to transcribe it for the rest of us to enjoy. Pure optical candy.
Chad has a remarkable combination in his twin talents of artistry and coding. His newest endeavour is the massive undertaking of the yet-to-go-live Chateau Grrr. Look for it this Fall.
Robin produces more work than should be humanly possible for one person (and great work at that). Visit his blog for frequent updates, or visit his official site.
Mandy's a genius with watercolor. Her love of sushi is readily apparent in her work, though a French influence can be seen in her character pieces.
Dave makes it look easy. From his expertise in animation and timing to his mastery of shape and form, Dave is an inspiring artist.
Bob has an uncanny way of doing a lot with a little. Coupled with a great eye for color and composition, his talent for reducing subjects to their essence makes his work highly viewable.
Ian's artwork is unlike any other featured here. Though some detail may get lost in the digitized scans of his pieces, the linework that makes up each of Ian's compositions is as precise as it is tedious. His art and his patience are both worthy of admiration.

Cabel's a coding genius of epic proportions, one of the two masterminds behind Panic software, and a pretty funny guy to boot. The zooming effect used on images throughout this site relies heavily on the FancyZoom javascript code he authored.
Run by Remy Sharp, this tutorial site provided the coding foundation for the popup icon effect on my navigation bar (which was inspired by Cabel Sasser's Download button on the Coda site).
A quick way to get slick, lightweight loading animations without the hassle of creation, compression, etc. There's a wide range of choices available for free download, all high quality.
Of course, I have to include Apple for being the innovator they are. Recently converted from PC-only status, I'm the proud owner of a Mac mini, MacBook Pro, and an iPhone; I've come to begrudgingly appreciate the superiority of OS X and Apple products in general.

The 1UP Show
Hosted by the hilarious trio of best friends Alex Albrecht, Jeff Cannata, and Dan Trachtenburg, TRS reviews movies, games, comics, and TV shows like no other show out there. These guys make Tuesdays worth waking up. (iTunes Podcast)
Also featuring Alex Albrecht along with co-host Kevin Rose, DiggNation is a weekly review of some of the top stories from the social news site Digg.com. Crazy News Stories + Tech Geeks + Beer = Good Times. (iTunes Podcast)
Spectacularly geeky and technologically fluent, Merlin is the host of The Merlin Show and creator of 5ives and the lifehacking site 43Folders. He wields a quick wit as a frequent panelist on the MacBreak Weekly podcast and co-stars in the wonderfully offbeat You Look Nice Today.
These guys are my weekly lifeline to everything gaming. From DS to PSP, from 360 to PS3, their reviews are both entertaining and reliable. Though much more information is available at the root of 1UP.com, I prefer to get my gaming news pared down and concentrated into podcast form. (iTunes Podcast)
