About the Author
I’m Josh. Josh Sherman to be exact, and Joshua John Sherman to be precise. I’m a not quite thirty-something husband, father, software hacker and musician. I own pugs (x3) and I’m not a player, I just fork a lot. I’m also PHP guy from way back (started just before PHP 3.x was released), a Linux guy from every further back (Slackware since the 90s switching exclusively to Ubuntu since 5.04) and a die hard Vim user. Aside from being the best father and husband I can possibly be, I am the one man wrecking crew at CrowdSavings.com, I run a handful of web sites / services under the umbrella of Gravity Boulevard, and I enjoy playing the guitar and bass as well as creating electronic music and occasionally making some noise.
Family Life
If I’m not coding or at band practice then I’m probably spending time with the family. The wife and I have been together since 2003 and were married in 2007 and our daughter Elizabeth Paige came into the world later that year. You can keep up with the wife’s antics over at That Girl Jen and even though our daughter doesn’t have a site, she does make the occasional appearance over at ThinkGeek.
About this Site
This site is proudly built with free, libre and open source software. Any graphics you may see were created in either GIMP or Inkscape (or a combination of the two) and all the markup was originally hacked together in Vim and further tweaked in the tumblr. editor. The site itself is utilizing my own open source PHP framework PICKLES, using Apache and MySQL living on an Ubuntu Linux server hosted at Linode powered by tumblr.
Show some <3
For the most part, everything I build on my time I end up releasing as open source, offer the service for free and sometimes both. If you are interesting in showing me some love for such efforts, feel free to purchase something from my Amazon Wishlist.
