hello, my name is patrick

who i am

My name is Patrick Byrne. I am 26 years old. I am a Virgo, if you care about such nonsense.

what i do

I make websites, both for myself and for my employer, Planet Discover.

I try to learn something every day. Currently, I'm focusing on design and furthering my knowledge of JavaScript.

I enjoy watching quality serialized drama and a wide variety of movies.

I try to make time to play some video games.

I read. A lot.

when i grow up

As I develop my web development and design skills, I'd like to start working some freelance projects.

More immediately, and much more importantly, I will marry a wonderful woman whom I clearly don't deserve.

where i play

The web is full of playgrounds: Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, mainly.

If you're looking for content, Daring Fireball, Signal v Noise, and Boing Boing won't let you down.

why i care

Frankly, because the web matters. Open standards matter. Free exchange of information matters.

how i do it

Lovingly hand-coded in Textmate on Mac OS X. Hosted by TextDrive. Graphics made in Adobe Fireworks.
