Something about me:

I also frequent Zunerama, and got my Zune 30 back in July last year. It's hard to believe I've had my 30 for a year now! I'd like to eventually get a Zune 4/8, for my Dad if not for myself. (Long boring hours at work.)

I'm planning to attend a local Community College in the fall, hopefully with plans to transfer into an UC or CSU university, after taking a year off to get my driver's license, looking for work, and just catching up in general. My high school had block scheduling, which basically involved 8 classes a year, split into half-year long courses. Needless to say, high school was quite a rushed, hectic affair for me.

I've had an interest in XNA 3.0, and perhaps one day I'll try my hand at learning C#. I tend to pick up programming languages fairly quick, as I've been tinkering with, and modifying computer games as long as I've played them. I have some experience with graphics and animation, and have assisted with the graphical development of a few websites.

I enjoy PC gaming as well, as noted above, from Freelancer, Call of Duty 4, Team Fortress 2, Supreme Commander, and many other titles I can't think of off the top of my head.

I've been told I have unusual musical tastes, to say the least. I enjoy symphonic metal, alternative/punk rock, and even a little pop.

Oh, and there's another thing about me: I tend to ramble on and on! Anyway, glad to be here, ZuneBoards seems like quite an exciting place for Zune aficionados. See you around the forum!
