my name is charles and i’m one of the founders of receet.com, the better way to buy and sell stuff. obviously, it’s not up yet, nor is it ready for prime-time consumption, but we’re hoping to launch an alpha soon.
first, a bit about this site:
this is just a place for me to talk about things that are interesting to me: technology, entrepreneurship, design, etc. the domain is an old leftover, from when i had delusions of taking over the world with “strap” branding. that obviously didn’t work out, so i’ve repurposed it as my own personal blog. how convenient!
now, a bit about me:
i’m skilled in building html and css and sleeping, as well as writing snarky comments. i’m not skilled in school, nor am i any good at eating bland foods.
i’m also a self-taught percussionist, with experience playing mallet percussion and drumset (although, to be honest, my skills are pretty rusty). i enjoy hip-hop music (little brother, the roots), neo-soul (jill scott, musiq soulchild), r&b (avant, jagged edge), as well as gangster rap (three 6 mafia, geto boys) and jazz/bebop/big band (gerald wilson, thelonious monk, art blakey); my favorite book is dune by frank herbert.
in my spare time, i read y-combinator news, techcrunch, engadget, styleboost, xkcd, autoblog, 6speedonline, and vipstylecars.
i alternate between a macbook air (late 2008) and a mac pro (early 2008) with 30″ cinema display; both run 64-bit copies of win7 instead of osx. i use a kensington expert mouse (really, a trackball). my default browser is firefox 3.5.whatever-it-is-now.
i’m located near los angeles, ca.
i guess that about sums it up. let me know if you find my ramblings interesting!
