About Dreamformula
Originally intended as a place to for me to show off my portfolio the site has taken on a mind of it's own. It is now more of an online playground or sandbox for me to try out new ideas, and write about all sorts of different things.
As such Dreamformula is an ever evolving and growing organic life form all of its own. I'm constantly adding new features and tools here, and getting rid of things I don't like so much there. But no matter what form its in it's mine, and I'm proud of it.
The name Dreamformula comes from the title of a somewhat pyschadelic trance song written by a former classmate of mine at Stillwater Jr. High.
This site is published with Textpattern, which I finally settled on after going through a whole range of webblog publishing systems. And although I am a web programmer by trade, I decided that there was no reason to re-invent the wheel. The design for this site is based off of Michael Heilemann's Kubrick template for WordPress. Thanks for the means with which to get my CSS impared feet off the ground.
About Joe Shindelar
I was brought into this world in April, 1982. I grew up in Stillwater, MN where I spent most of my time going to school, trying out every version of every sport ever concieved by man (and although I was usually good, never stuck with any of them), and causing trouble with whoever my friends at the time where. During 10th grade my family moved to Minneapolis, and I was, to my honest approval, transported to the big(er) city.
The last two years of high school where spent at the Perpich Center for Arts Education, where I developed an appreciation for art, a lot of lasting friends, and an obsession with Apple Computers. After high school I spent a couple years figuring out where my life was taking me, went to three different colleges, and lived in two different states. Now I'm back in Minneapolis, attending the University of Minnesota where I'm persuing a degree in art.
I live in my mom's boyfriend's house with two other guys that I went to high school with. We play a lot of video games, and spend a lot of time just goofing off.
Really though, if you want to get to know me just spend some time reading through the various sections of the site. Learn about my infatuation with Pirates, and my desire to help every geeky guy find a girldfriend.
