Hello World!

Thank you for checking out my blog.  I first created this blog about a year and a half ago when I launched mattstiefel.com. At the time, I didn't really have the foggiest idea on what to post about. I still don't, but I hope to change that.

This is my first blog entry and hopefully one of many.  I hope to write about the things that interest me, my work, hobbies, computers, technology, and anything I feel like commenting on and sharing.  I may also from time to time post announcements about my website or talk about the projects i'm currently working on.

I am a freelance web and software developer, as well as a computer and technology enthusiast.  I like building computers and I am currently writing this from my Desktop computer that I built in 2008, which has undergone several upgrades since.  I work at home and do freelance work for Boomdizzle.com, a hip hop social music website co-founded by LL Cool J.  I have also done freelance work for other clients, and have bidded and worked on projects on sites like rentacoder, vworker, and now freelancer.

When I'm not working, I like to game.  I have a passion for pc gaming (both classic and modern games) and will often spend some time on Steam playing with friends or with others.  I also like the technical aspects of it and I'm hoping to develop some games of my own (at least as a hobby on the side).  I do have a few unfinished games I worked on almost a decade or so ago, and I've got some qbasic games I wrote back in the 90s before I learned how to program.  I may release some of them on my website.

Anyway, that is all.  Ta Ta for now.
