If you’re here, you’ve probably got some questions. Maybe something like…
Q: “Who are you?”
A: I’m Ian Robert McEachern, a 29-year-old, soon to be graduate of Carleton University’s Bachelor of Computer Science program. I have an earlier degree in Film Studies, and an abiding interest in media and the arts.
Q: “What are you doing with your life?”
A: Aside from the aforementioned studying, I’m exploring game design, screenwriting, web development, and looking for a job. At this very moment, I’m working on a game called “Caravan,” a screenplay called “The Watchmaker,” and a website called “This Thing You’re Looking At Right Now.”
Q: “Where do you live?”
A: Right now I live in Canada’s capital city, Ottawa, but I’ve lived in Alberta, British Columbia, Buckinghamshire, and Victoria in the past. I almost lived in Colorado, and Hesse, but those opportunities didn’t pan out.
Q: “When are you writing this?”
A: It’s 11:42pm on October 27th, 2015.
Q: “Why are you writing this?”
A: Worst case scenario: I’ll do something that I can pretend is productive while I procrastinate from studying, programming, designing, writing, and developing. Best case scenario: I’ll tell readers like you about all the interesting things I learn in between bouts of accomplishing the above.
Q: “How are you writing this?”
A: Magic.
