Hi, my name is Alex Vollmer and I live in Seattle, WA. I get paid to write software, which is something I would probably do in my free-time anyway (shhh…don't tell anyone). When I'm not nerding-out, I like to play my guitars, get out on the bike, read history books and spend time with my family and friends.
Since I'm a child of the web, you can find me on the interwebs in all the usual places:
When I'm not composing sprawling, pithy blog posts, I like to write the occasional tweet. Twitter is one of those things that became surprisingly essential to me. Who needs news? Who needs journalism? I've got 140 characters!
Damn. I wish I'd come up with this idea. github has to be about the coolest idea I've seen that is geek-centric, but about so much more than just the technology. Well, if I can't create it, at least I can enjoy using it.
Resumés are so last-century. I mean, if you want, I can send you one. But why not check out what I've done in my career the way the cool kids do it.
Occasionally I remember to record the events going on around me with my camera. Sometimes I even remember to organize those photos and, on a good day, I remember to put them up on flickr.
See what I've seen:

Guess who's a book-nerd? Me! My book queue is mile high and growing by the day. I stick mostly to tech-stuff and history, but occasionally branch out into fiction. I love getting book recommendations so let me know if there's something I just have to check out.
