Me

My name is Carl Whittaker and I’m a geek — I love sci-fi, sometimes that means I just can’t let things go; I’m of the opinion that Picard is better than Kirk. I love groovy 80's movies which include a certain trilogy.

I played a lot of computer games when i was younger. Nowadays I’m more of a casual gamer.

I like to read books with lots of pictures. I’m a Mac fanboy; I prefer vi over emacs, but TextMate is my editor of choice.

I like to pretend that I’m a photographer, with mixed results. My taste in music could be described as eclectic, or more accurately questionable.

I like to travel, but haven’t quite made it as far as I’d like. I made it to Austin this year, but more importantly i made it back.

I over share the tiny details of my life. Sometimes I’ll share my frustrations, and then some.
