Welcome,
It's been a long time since I even looked at this page. All the links on this page are ancient. I don't know if they still work even. Its been left in the closet since I made phatness.com a full time site. Anyways...Let me give a little background on myself, this page, and phatness.com

This Page? Pretty sweet aye? Its by far the page I am proudest of. That's the biggest reason I still keep it around. Its the first page I did after I crossed the line of not knowing a shit about the web, ... to well...enlightment you could say. Everything before this was a joke, as most peoples first infant attempts at *designing* web pages are. The html was easy, I used a liberal dose of tables in this page, as I still do in every page I create. Tables are by far my best friend in HTML land, of course they are also the antichrist at his best day. Just last night I broke a keyboard working on baefed.com. The graphics were also my first foray into learning Adobe's masterpeice, Photoshop. I've said it a thousand times before, if that program had tits and could make fettuccini alfredo, I would take it to Vegas and get hitched. I got my base education in Photoshop from the guru himself, Doc Ozone. He has some *nice* tutorials and some great examples in his work. That guy never ceases to amaze me. You'll see alot of his sites influence in this page.

Blah blah blah, I ended up registering the domain phatness.com after using Phatness Unlimited for awhile as a cover for any creative work or programming I did as a hobby. (that way you can enforce copyrights easier ;)) Oh yeah, I originally was going call Phatness Unlimited just Phatness, but then I saw a couple of companies with the "limited" extension of ltd. So I said hey wait, lets call it Phatness 'UN'ltd. And it grew into Phatness Unlimited. So whatever. Now phatness.com is just basically a creative 'orifice', you could say, for my friends and I to put shit. One of these days I'll pay the lawyer fees and get the damn name registered as a company.

That all started about my senior year in high school. Yeah I got started late, I didn't even know what a computer was until my parents bought one in 95. Before that I was planning on becoming a mechanic. Thank god I didn't because I *hate* getting dirty. (pansy ass). So now its 2000 and I'm a computer programmer for a Tier 1 GM supplier. "Why the hell would a gm supplier need a programmer??", you ask? Well these guys are pretty sweet. They monitor every aspect of the assembly process and I get to write the programs that do it in the real world. So I get to play with cool hardware like digital I/O boards (they allow you to do anything with a computer basically), Imaging sensors (basically detect light), and Roto Tools (an electric wrench that you control through the computer). Its a pretty sweet job. And I get to experiment with new tech.

Have a look around this page and phatness.com. I try to jam this site with as much shit as I can. Its hard though sometimes balancing your time between work, bars, and this site so sometimes there are broken links and slow updates. But, it all gets fixed and updated eventually.

Go kick some Ace,
Wille
