I was looking for an iGoogle weather gadget but couldn't find one I liked so I reinvented the wheel.

Web Reminder

Firefox Extension to improve productivity by setting reminders for time-wasting web sites.

I'm a Web Developer and Software Engineer from Boston, MA. My professional experience so far has been focused on developing database-driven, web applications using Python, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS.

In my free time I do the usual: TV, movies, and music. I also like Boston sports, bike riding, traveling, and a lot more.

At this site I've included some of the projects I've done to learn different technologies. I think it's a lot easier to learn through practical applications instead of rote memorization. I've also included a few links that have made developing easier for me.
