[[File:Lemonkey.jpg|300px|right]] Is it le-monkey or lemon-key? It's really up to you, but whenever I read it I think le-monkey. I respond to either in public. I'm a game developer / Flash, iPhone, .Net and Web 2.0 engineer who has recently relocated to San Francisco from Chicago in June 2009. I hold a BS degree in Computer Science from the University of Iowa but I'm also 1 semester short of a BS degree in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (aka Engineering Mechanics) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I was fortunate to have worked on a variety of cool projects including the X-391 Human Powered Helicopter contest (we built our own kiln to cure carbon fiber spars) and the Beckman Hexapod project (where I helped run stress tests as part of my senior design project) among other things. My interests are all over the place, but I tend to be most absorbed in all things computing at the moment. I have familiarity with C/ObjC/C++/ActionScript (2.0/3.0)/Java/C#/OpenGL/ML/Prolog/Tcl and am currently doing C# web development as my day job at [http://townhog.com TownHog] in addition to [http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/townhog/id349412627?mt=8 iPhone development] and Flash game development on the side (play a few Flash games that I worked on for Orbitz: [http://orbitzgames.com/arcade_bingbing.aspx BingBing], [http://orbitzgames.com/arcade_stacker.aspx Stacker], and [http://orbitzgames.com/arcade_soccer.aspx Soccer]). Since I relatively new to the area, I'm always up for learning about cool things to go see and do. My passions in the past and ongoing have included: * dwarf fortress (puts hair on your chest!) * architecture * physics * robotics * aerodynamics/astrophysics * computer history * online communities/social networking/IRC * experimental music/MIDI/software synthesizers * art nouveau * underground comix * game development * cycling I've also been involved with computers/electronics/BBSes/hacking ever since I can remember (Radio Shack, Edmund Scientific, American Science and Surplus, Forrest M. Mims III, [http://www.textfiles.com/bbs/DELAM/ripusers Ripco], Phrack, TAP, Cdc, 2600, etc.) and have been recently working with microcontrollers (Arduino, XBee, stepper motors, etc.) while reading [http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596510510 "Making Things Talk"]. I've been on [http://tinyurl.com/y9r9up2 Usenet] since around 1989 and EFNet since around 1991. The majority of my BBS exploration was limited to the 708 and 312 area codes during the 1980s. I feel fortunate to have been at UIUC in the early 90s where I was able to witness the birth of the WWW/Mosaic/etc. with the help of NCSA and the university. Oh, and one of my letters (not article) to 2600 got published a long long time ago, but it is embarrassing looking back on it now. Ask me and I can dredge up the issue it was printed in. Some links: * [http://aribraginsky.com What's new, Portfolio, etc.] * [http://twitter.com/lemonkey Twitter] * [http://www.facebook.com/lemonkey Facebook] * [http://www.flickr.com/people/simon_lemonkey Flickr] * [http://last.fm/user/psicom Last.FM] In the end I hope to become a member of Noisebridge as soon as my finances get under control, hopefully soon. No, I'm not a troll.
