Hi, I'm Fire. Somehow you've stumbled upon this page (probably from pure curiosity). To tell you a little about myself, I'm 20 and just finished my first year of college. I live in the US and I think sandwiches are the my favorite invention.

If I had to summarize myself in one sentence, I would say I'm a quasi-buddhist revolutionary geek dreamer musician who loves to design.

I'm in to graphic design. Vector art & drawing are my main interest. I put a lot of my standalone artwork (digital and traditional) on DeviantART. So, if you want to see my DA page, it's at http://firetech.DeviantART.com/.

I also enjoy software programming. I currently work mostly in Web-geared languages like PHP or Sun Microsystems' Java, but I also work with other languages including C++ and RealBasic. My favorite is writing network or information security software. Since this is my primary interest, I've been in the Mac Underground scene since about 1998 when Kyint and I first started CowFight. Since then, I've been involved with several of the other major underground groups, now including Nexus 9.

Lastly, I play guitar, sing, and write all my own music. I'm currently learning how to record my music at home. Unfortunately, it's one of the most frustrating, complicated, and hard things I've ever tried to learn and I'm not very good at it yet. I've got a few recordings I have done on this site. I'm using an M-Audio Delta 44 interface, Native Instruments' Guitar Rig, and either Apple's Garageband or MOTU Digital Performer 4.5 (depending on the job).

Do you do your own home recording or something similar? Write your own music? Want to do a collaborative song project? e-mail me about it.
