New About Me
When I was a kid I spent a lot of time playing with these multi-colored multi-themed stack-able bricks called Legos. Oddly, I didn’t really like “playing” with the various Lego sets all that much. Instead of moving the little Lego people around the sets I was, pretty much only interested in building things. I’d spend countless hours putting together huge cities on my parents dinning room table only to find myself frustrated and bored when construction was complete. For me the excitement was in the idea, the planning and the execution. HTML, CSS and PHP are my new Legos. These tools allow me to take ideas off the dinning room table and put them in front of other people all around the World. I’ve been designing web site for over a decade and while I still build things with Legos every once in a while, there is really nothing more I would rather be doing, creatively speaking, than building tools and content for the Internet.
Old About Me
There are a few Aaron Robbins out there on the Internet. I’m the one who lives in Northern California with his wife and daughter. I don’t play football or train dogs like some of the other Aaron R’s in the world.
I work for a small design studio and spend a great deal of time knee deep in PHP, up to my waist CSS and over my head in a bunch of other acronyms. For a few years I thought I was a character animator (I even went to school for it). I still freelance animation from time to time but I really find programming and design to be the things that keep me going. Thanks for stopping by my site; I hope you enjoy your stay.
