I work with a group of people in the development and production of a podcast called The PC/Mac Smackdown. The show is going through significant changes in the near future and we decided it would be great to have some type of collaborative site for us to share ideas, files, schedules, etc. Rather than use commercial services like Google Docs, Google Groups or Multiply we thought it would be much more functional to build our own site and customize it to our preferences. I volunteered to get that site up and running and I was actually able to have something online overnight that met our needs.

I have served for 26 plus years in the Navy and am a Master Chief Petty Officer. My work background in the Navy is telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well in what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena. My first website - AnotherWin95.com - came online in 1996. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and have all the GeoCities “stuff” to show for it! I have progressed from a single page, link-filled, static html page to using PHP, databases and coding to make my pages.
