I'm Matt Read, a 32 year old male from Ottawa, Canada. That's the capital of Canada for all you who don't know that already. I enjoy skateboarding, playing hockey and soccer, and working on my website.

<img src="/user/themes/greeny/images/BigJibby.jpg" alt="A picture of me" style="float:right;" /> My favourite TV show of all time is MacGyver, and Good Will Hunting is my favorite movie. I program in PHP, MySQL, Javascript, and Bash Scripting, and I love playing with Python. I'm a bit pedantic about producing **semantic** (X)HTML (and no, valid does not mean semantic).
