First, who I am:
 My
Name, as if you haven't already guessed is, Mike Browne, I live in Maple
Ridge, BC, Canada with my wife, Carol, and our dog, Moosh. I work at
eSportz.com in Vancouver, BC, as the web Designer there.
How this began & why I continue:
When I was working at OnlineOffice.com (a dot-gone) my office mates
and I were always trying to come up with new ways to entertain ourselves.
I had a crappy little scanner at my desk, and as a lark one day I scanned
my lunch. Carrying the joke even further I put it up on the web at my
site, www.mikebrowne.com.
I sent the URL to friends and away it went. My lunch was an instant
hit.
The page fell dormant for a while due to unemployment and a lack of
a decent scanner. However, upon my employment here, again I was supplied
with a scanner. After getting my sea-legs at my new job, and with the
prompting of a few friends, I started scanning again. I keep doing it
because some people actually like it. If it makes one person smile I've
done a good deed for the day.
Hardware and software I use:
My PC at work is a dual P3 750 with 512 MBS of RAM running Windows 2000
Pro for an OS. In other words, smokin'!  My
scanner is a Hewlett Packard IIcx seen at the left. I use Adobe Photoshop
v6.0 as image editing software and Macromedia's Dreamweaver UltraDev
v4.0 as an HTML editor. The whole exercise takes me less than 15 minutes
per day. I do it either first thing in the AM or on my lunch break.
I have the page itself hosted on my mikebrowne.com site. Easy as pie!
I Bought a digital camera too! It's a Nikon Coolpix 950. Very cool indeed! I can take lunch on the road now.
As to whether or not I am crazy:
I'll never tell, but there may be health professionals out there
who may wish to say bad things.
Where I buy my shirts:
Anywhere I see something loud or a little different.
