#About the Author
Hello! I’m Rob Friesel Jr. and I work as a user interface engineer and have a love/hate relationship with our so-called high tech industry. That is why a big focus of this site is on tech/code. I am interested in human/machine interactions, content management applications, open source software, and web-based/distributed applications. My latest obsession is JavaScript performance tuning.
I also fancy myself a writer and aspiring novelist. From time to time, I will post bits of experimental pieces, essays on the writing process, links to thoughts from other authors, etc. I have several drafts of novels kicking around, and am constantly working on one or more projects. Most recently, I have been dedicating my literary energy to some promising short stories. You can’t find my writing anywhere except online unless you’re a St. Mary’s College student — in which case, I’m in the “St. Mary’s Collection”. I freely admit that I have wanted to be a published author since I was about 5 years old; I have been writing pretty much continuously since then. Unfortunately, it doesn’t pay the bills, so I’m forced into a day job (vide supra).
I also post occassional DJ mixes and original compositions. As a DJ, I play a mix of techno, house, and trance (not necessarily in that order); you may have heard my refer to this style as “deep tech sophisto”. I’ve played a few gigs out, notably at Baltimore’s Sonar (way back in 2001) and more recently at Burlington’s ½ Lounge.
