Why?

I love web development. Since my teenage years, web development has been one of my hobbies and sometimes I find it quite peculiar that I get paid to do stuff I would otherwise do for fun.

I'd like to think I'm an expert, but it never ceases to amaze (and scare) me how much there is I don't know. I suppose that's a good feeling to have, as it keeps me on my toes and forces me to keep learning.

This website

Red goose has no special meaning of significance other than being slightly catchy, easy to remember, and easy to type. The logo was created by Shannon Gibson.

This website is powered by Textpattern CMS using my own template that is influenced by another design I saw, but can not recall where. My apologies. Web hosting is handled by dreamhost and the domain was registered over at Namespro.ca.
