My name is Cat, short for Catherine. I am 26 years old. I enjoy figuring out how things work and also learning about weird things. My biggest fear is to live a boring life. I care about my friends & family. In general I like making people smile.
My dream is to build amazing technology that behaves like "magic"... because under the hood, it's built with love, hard work, and attention to detail. I see myself as a curious toymaker.
This website is hosted on flairr.com. Zack and I wrote a custom template engine and an iOS app that lets you update your website from your phone.
