I’m an unapologetic geek who loves shiny technology just as much as I like hiking and camping… as long as I have my iPhone. I dabble in website design, wilderness and urban survival, and experimenting with ways to save money and make my life easier.

Currently I work at the University of Texas at Austin. In my free time I blog at Surviving the Modern World, and I’m the owner of Getting Dirty Designs, a freelance web design/training business. If you’re looking for me, I might be taking photos with my iPhone, following feral hog tracks, teaching a WordPress class, watching Dexter or Hawaii 5-0, or playing with my cats and dog. Or, you know, working. I do that a lot.
