Being raised on computers since my Dads time at Sony in the 80's, I started scripting when I was 12. From there I've been programming constantly, eventually getting a Bachelors and am professionaly working on embedded software/developer tools.
I program games as a hobby, however it's something that's slowly taken over more and more of my free time - I assume this is what they call having a passion for something.
I'm an avid PC Gamer (slowwly migrating to consoles) and an absolute technology junkie.
