i decided i would create my own place to dump data and info on various things, thus far it has mostly been about Microsoft, i thought about a blog where people would be able to post, but found most people dont post on blogs even the most popular ones, i have began to update it more and more as the days/weeks go by you can find some things i have shared here on joejoe and some things i havent shared, i have been focusing mainly on Longhorn Technology and Win 7 as well as a mash of other things Microsoft related.
i have a lot more to add to the site which will happen in the coming days/weeks and months...i have no clue where this is all going, or if it is going anywhere...who knows!

As for me....well um 34 years old and i live in Nova Scotia, Canada with my girl of 13 years. I have lived in Nova Scotia my whole life, it wasnt until 95 when i got my first personal PC with Win95 installed, and didnt really become interested in MS technology until 2003/04 during the Longhorn Period while i was working for HP, i produce music as well and have been since 1985 when i first started writting rhymes and getting into hiphop culture, i breakdanced at school during recess in 87 and started writing graffiti in 1993 under the moniker cityboy which i also use for producing music.

rap career? wtf? yeah believe it or not i do have one, i sorta left it in the dust due to commitment issues and the state of the scene here in Halifax, i first starting emcee'n back in 85, it wasnt until the late 90's when i first got on a stage, i was introduced to a group of people from a graffiti crew called "Halifax Writers Association" they were not only into hiphop but also into the underground "rave" scene, i had placed hiphop on the back burner for the time being in 1994 and started DJing raves here in Halifax at some of the largest venuses and crowds Halifax has seen spent a lot of time with a "i dont care attitude" experiementing with things i shouldnt have, which lead me to "get myself in check" and get back to my roots producing hiphop, eating, sleeping, drinking and doing hiphop.

although the hiphop scene here in halifax is more then alive, i cant be bothered to be part of it anymore, the wanna-bes and shitheads, got me bugged so i'd much rather keep to myself and do what i do without influences from others always striving to be different in everyway, shape form or fashion. personal issues have stopped me a lot of the time, but we all have our issues. 2009 is going to be a much more productive year for me with at least 2 releases slated, sacrifices must be made in order to get to my goals, something in life we all have to deal with.

i have a knack for collecting things as well, i love to collect sneakers, vinyl records, smurf's and a wack of other crazy things and because of my "OCD bad ass collecting abilities" and my Love/Hate relationship with Microsoft i have collected a massive collection of goods, most have been shared here on this site other things have been made available at the "underground hideout" and some things have not been shared
