Greetings! DopeJam is my personal website aimed at keeping family and friends up to date with what's going on, but also serves as a communication vehicle to express thoughts, opinions, and experiences regarding the stuff I'm into (technology, home theater, movies, high end car audio, bass, electronic music, web applications, etc...). I also use DopeJam to host ideas that I experiment with. Read the profile if you're interested in knowing why the site is called DopeJam in the first place.

What Languages/Tech are you using to stay current? Posted on Sep 02, 2010 05:42PM | Comments (0) | Permalink | 22 Views Your technical skills can never stay level, this is because whatever you know is always becoming obsolete as older technology becomes obsolete.

XBOX - Blur... I like it Posted on May 15, 2010 10:54PM | Comments (0) | Permalink | 725 Views What I like about Blur is even if you're last there's still things you can actively do to catch up. There are these lightning bolt things and homing missle things - they go after the leader. So if you're in a 20 person race, you have 19 other players that are shooting those things at the leader.
