Who is That Alex Guy?
I live in Columbus, Ohio and am a dad of 23 (that's 2 kids, 2 cats, 2 dogs). I've been making stuff on the internet since the early 2000s. I started coding on an Atari 400 (way after their prime), which led to writing C on Palm Pilots and finally coding on computers.
These days I work in management, but still enjoy coding websites and apps by hand in my (limited) freetime. I'm also an avid cyclists, hiker and enjoyer of retro video games.
I run a small consulting company called Darn Fine Software and the Columbus Vintage Computing Club.
What's this site for?
I use this space to write about things that interest and to post photos, projects and other things I tinker with. You'll mostly find content related to technology (vintage and modern), programming, cycling and nature.
My ideals
I think it's important for you to know where I stand on a few things so you aren't surprised by any of my posts! I am anti-ai and big tech, I support and use free and open source software. I think "shop small/local" not only applies to the stores you visit, but also the websites and apps you use. I'm fairly anti-capitalism, and am ashamed of the state of my home country (United States). I welcome and respect all and don't stand bigotry, fascism, racism or any of the other things that are destroying humanity.
