About Mark Michon
I’m currently a student in Orlando, FL and employee of the soon to be opening IKEA Orlando.
I grew up in South Florida, but have lived in the Orlando are since 2004 when I moved here for college.
General Information
- I consider myself to be a cross between a humanist and antitheist. Either way, I do not believe in god even though I use the term habitually.
- I have two cats, Molly and Evangeline. Yes they have human names. No I don’t care if you think that’s stupid. They also have hats.
- I’ve worked at the happiest place on earth. That being said I have seen some of the worst specimens humanity has to offer.
- I have intentionally written improper grammar in my educational career to make a point that it can be effective tool. This has had both positive and negative results.
- I think twitter is ridiculous. Don’t take it personally twitter.
- I wish I could draw better. I have the ability to make horrible sketches of shapes, but nothing more. So many ideas are lost because of this.
- I’m a huge gamer. Currently my time is spent on my Xbox 360, but hopefully after fall a PS3 will join the frey.
About the Site
This is an outlet for commentary and expression. It is also a means of expanding my skillset. It is built from the ground up on CSS and XHTML with Wordpress as a publishing platform.
MarkMichon.com is the evolution of makingmark.com (which redirects here.) The previous site was a great learning experience in Wordpress and XHTML/CSS. I hope to avoid the many mistakes that it suffered.
