Movin’ On Up!

Aw yeah, DZone MVB baby!

Great news! I just received the confirmation E-Mail letting me know I am now an official DZone MVB, or Most Valued Blogger. Blog posts from my Develop in the Google Cloud blog will be featured on the DZone site along with many of the other DZone articles from other MVBs. This will provide some extra exposure to yours truly and makes me really happy to boot!

I’ve been working on a Java/Google App Engine project called Quoats that displays a random quote from around the web. It’s a simple app that I thought would be a great way to get my feet wet with the platform and something I could share on my blog. So far, I am really enjoying a number of things about Google App Engine and Java including JDO and Google App Engine’s persistent storage mechanism. Tres cool.

If you’d like to learn more about Quoats, you can check out the project page (and the source code) on Assembla.

Welcome to my blog!

Hi everyone,

First, let me welcome you all to my blog where I will be writing about web development experiences, technology, and social media as I continue along this path in my career. I work as a web developer in the beautiful city of Guelph, Ontario, Canada as a full-time employee but on the side I am part owner of an indie movie studio known as Synn Studios Inc. as well as a maintainer and developer of my own personal technological projects (software or hardware).

Hopefully, if we have similar interests, you will find the posts on this blog to be of use to you either in your own experience or in upcoming projects. If you’re into developing websites, working on servers, making movies, 3D modeling, level design, or game development, there will be something here for you.

I have started two projects on my own: The now defunct NetBoardz Free Forum Hosting, and Jack of All Links – A social search engine (which eats up a lot of my time ;)).

I am available through Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, or LinkedIn, if you need to contact me.

Enjoy!
