[edit] Basic info
I am living in Seoul, South Korea. I was born in 1971 in Joliet which is a town in Illinois about two hours outside of Chicago by train or car; but I consider myself a native of Chicago, since that is where I was raised. I was born on February 17, and share a birthday with Michael Jordan, Denise Richards, Paris Hilton, Lou Diamond Phillips, Billie Joe Armstrong, and Harisu.
[edit] Computer stuff
I'm currently using a Samsung notebook with Windows XP, browsing with Firefox and I have an account with Gmail; I use WebDwarf (web editing) and Notepad (html), The GIMP (graphics), and I subscribe to Yelp (reviews), Flickr (photos), and I browse craigslist and Wikipedia often.
