About The Team
Michael Guill, Designer/Developer
Team? What team? I'm the sole proprietor, designer, developer, photographer, sales force, and accounting department. When I'm not performing some sort of Interweb jiggery-pokery, I enjoy competing in triathlons, traveling with my family, drinking a nice glass of Sangiovese, and writing about myself in third person.My Background
I have been involved in technology for a long time. My first computer was a Commodore 64, purchased with the proceeds from an entire summer of cutting grass in my neighborhood. I was ten years old and writing my first code in BASIC. Back then there was no default storage, you simply left the computer on if you didn't want your program erased. By the time I was in high school, I was writing in Pascal and dabbling in COBOL, saving my work on 5¼" floppies.
Since then I've had some college and a few careers... I've worked for restaurants, defense agencies, schools (elementary and university), and now, myself. My programming language of choice now is PHP, and I like to use as much open-source software as possible. I tend to play devil's advocate and I cheer for the underdog, which is why I prefer to use Apple computers, PalmOS handhelds, and Linux servers.
Lest you think I'm just another über-geek (which I am), I also have a life. I'm an amateur triathlete and quite a talent in the kitchen (so I'm told). I speak Japanese (hontou ni), play guitar, fix my own cars, and I'm pretty handy with power tools. I've also been a stay-at-home dad since my daughter was 6 months old (she's 6 years old now), but don't call me Mr. Mom.
