Online, I go by Pedro (though I respond to it offline as well). By day I'm a SQL Server geek. By night I'm a husband, father, mac geek, and I do web design and development. 'Why longbored?' you say? I was very bored with a previous job, and I came up with this site one dark evening. I have cured/treated my boredom with the following things in my life:

• My wonderful wife and two daughters, Cecilia & Becky.
• I do web design and coding for people
• I enjoy watching and keep decent tabs on the San Antonio Spurs (basketball) and Liverpool FC (football/soccer).
• I enjoy music (Billboard, G2, Soundtrack, etc)
• I love food, both making and eating it (just not cleaning the dishes).
• I love taking photos of nouns, and occasionally verbs… but usually nouns.

Update: The name of my site has apparently inspired a kindred bored surfer to name his site in a similar fashion. Find Paul Seys at the ShortBored Surfer.

I love my Mac, and have done everything for the site on it. My preferences are with:

• Fireworks - graphics
• TextMate - text editor
• CSSEdit - CSS editor
• Transmit - FTP
• MarsEdit - blog entry editor

For the actual web side of things, my grandmother, mother, and dead dog have no clue, but I use:

• Movable Type - my base CMS
• Flickr - handles all my photos
• Mint - handles all my site stats
• DreamHost - runs this site (and others) and does a freakin' awesome job at it (Want to help pay for my hosting? Gee, that'd be real nice of you!

Additionally, some people (see: hardly anyone) might care to know I use:

• Twitter - ensures I don't write blog entries shorter than 140 characters
• A handful of other socially-oriented sites that handle a bunch of random things for me… but those are of even less interest to even fewer people.

I love Fever. You should too. Ask me why.

Previously I had a list of my feed here (and their unread counts), but it was bogging down my shared server too much. Not enough of you people seemed to care, so it's no big deal that I no longer publish that list. Despite that, I still love Fever (though I wish it worked better on an iPad, and that something like Reeder or Byline existed. (and don't bother with Ashes (at least, not yet). It doesn't hold a candle to those other two.)

If you're going to ask about the recipes, they've been removed. You can read about that here.
