Warmfuzzy is a thirtysomething computer/entertainment industry professional (read: geek gone pro) with long hair and a beard who has only been turned down for a job due to hair length once. I guess it’s a good thing he lives in Socal.

He is quite happily engaged to a hot chick who quite possibly might never read this ;) Eventually (soon, I swear), they will marry and raise many kids.

He attempted a gameserver business along with several others who shall remain nameless (unless you WANT to be named) on at least one occasion, which used to be hosted here. He sincerely apologies for any emotional scarring that occured due to multiple communities self-destructing in part due to giant flame wars he (wrongly) chose to ignore. If you were ever a member of Warmfuzzyland and/or a regular on any of the servers we’ve run over the years (QWTF, Q2, CS, NS, DOD, Q3A, DC, CS:S, SB, SB:S) feel free to reach out to Warmfuzzy and enter for a chance to win some free schwag in the process. He is always up for a beer if you want to visit.

He is currently working for a small-but-mighty media and entertainment industry integrator on a not-so-sekrit project that is all about moving data across WANs really, really fast.

BUT BY NIGHT he is a nimble (that’s a kind way of saying ’small’) videogame developer toiling by serverlight for no money at Smashball, an action sports-shooter that combines the best of Get Ball In Goal sports with the best of Shooting Your Enemies In The Face. He has partnered with voodooc once again on yet another crazygonuts enterprise, and expects to be successful, even if it’s just statistics this time around. Warmfuzzy is very excited that the game is extremely fun in its current state, since they haven’t even started adding the most cracklike hooks yet. Warmfuzzy is also happy to have Krenzo as a developer,

On the side (yes, the OTHER side), he and MrPinstripe run the Cosmic Colo, a server colocation, virtual server, and hosted services company that is nearly breaking even most of the time. MrPinstripe is one of the most talented systems, storage, and network administrators Warmfuzzy has ever worked with, and he’s said so in writing on LinkedIn.

So I figured, everything’s already connected together, so I might as well have a page that links to all of them. I’m sure all the headhunters and HR folks will find it appealing, in any case. In this awesome web2.0-connected world, there are a billion ways to contact Warmfuzzy or find out more about him. Here are just a few:
