About

I guess this is where I write about myself. Here are some things you should know about me:

I’m Amanda, a 20-something year old former editor thing and current marketer thing at an awesome VPS company named Linode.

I have a BS in Software Design, and an MS in Forensic Studies (computer forensics). I got both when I was 21.

I like to write for people and computers. I speak English, some German, PHP, Perl, C#, Visual Basic, Cold Fusion, and a little bit of C/C++. I want to learn Chinese and Python a bit better.

I’ve been all over the world and love to travel.

I own a sweet at life moped. One day I’ll own a motorcycle, but I will totally ride the moped to work anyway because it’s that legit.

I really like horses, and I used to go horseback riding a lot.

I don’t like seafood (but I used to!). Sushi and clam chowder are among the things I used to eat that I now won’t touch. However, I love hibachi when chicken or cows are involved.

I play guitar and sing, but only for myself. I’d like to be a musician and play for a crowd of millions, but for now I’m content to make noise in the privacy of my apartment.

Every now and then I enjoy a cigar.

I don’t talk much, but if you ask me questions I’ll usually answer.

I like cats.

I’m a really terrible Buddhist because I want things and hate people.

I let my mind wander when my feet can’t. It gets me in trouble.

When I was younger (3 or so) I got dared to lick a mushroom. I got violently ill and won’t eat them to this day.

I’ve done a barrel roll in a Super Hornet.

I enjoy model cars. My favorite is a red 1995 Camaro.
