Professional

I'm fantasizing I can make a career as a professional writer. I'm currently working as tech support for an Internet Service Provider. I hope to be hired as an in-house programmer by a new, growing company in the field of computers and information technology.

Under normal circumstances, a website's pages should have a common unifying design. However, since this is an experimental web site, each page will differ wildly in design and theme and change periodically as whimsy strikes me.
