So "ckdake" is my screen name. I have it because it was the only screenname I could get on AOL back in the day (which led to a yahoo account in early 1998 that I still have today), but it's stayed unique over the years. If you google for it, everything that shows up is pretty much guaranteed to be me.

I'm into music, photography, technology, biking, and theres more information on here in various shapes and forms about all of that. I recently finished up grad school Georgia Tech where I spent a lot of time doing computer science related research in RNOC (mostly around CPR). I'm the project manager for Gallery (you can take a look at my svn log if you want), and I'm the webmaster over at Faster Mustache. In the Summer of 2007 I was an intern at Google and I'm now working as an Operations Engineer for SugarCRM.

In addition to checking up on the above there are some other places I frequent online:

Software

I'm in front of a computer a lot. There are a few things that make this possible:

Gentoo Linux | GNOME | Firefox | Pidgin | XChat | GIMP | Rhythmbox | Rosegarden | F-Spot | Mac OS X | Apple Mail | Adium

Some key things that pull it all together so I don't loose my mind:

Google Reader | Remember The Milk | Google Calendar | Google Docs | del.icoi.us | last.fm

Theres also all the stuff on my servers that I couldn't do a lot of things without:

Gentoo Linux | Apache | PHP | MySQL | Postfix | Perl | Gallery | Drupal

Biking

Ride bikes!

Photography

I take a lot of pictures most of the time. They're mostly in my Gallery on here. (There are also a lof of my pictures in the Faster Mustache Gallery. Stuff that I find randomly as well as everything from the cell phone is on my Flickr.) Some of them make their way to my DPChallenge profile. I currently shoot with a Canon 10D 20D 40D and a few lenses: Canon EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 USM, Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM. Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro, Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM, Canon EF-S10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM. Industrial landscapes are the favorite subject, followed by macro, followed by action sports.

Music

I'm into music. Some things I've made are on my media projects page. I play cello, bass guitar, a bit of piano, and a little guitar guitar. I'll listen to any music that has soul and some that doesn't. My Last.fm page has all the details of what I listen to but heres some trivialities:

Top Artists of All Time	Top Artists This Week	Recent Tracks
