Seatoad.net ~
My internet sand box...
Hi. You've reached seatoad.net, the internet home of Mike Quigley. This site is a portfolio of my professional work and personal projects. This home page is a portal to the domain. Actual content is developed under subdomains which currently include:
resume.seatoad.net - My professional resume. Password required.
gardening.seatoad.net - My gardening journal.
techwriter.seatoad.net - Talk about technical writing.
wahoo.seatoad.net - Talk about the Wahoo! brand of boats.
I will add more over time.
About this site and its organization
This site is meant to be a catalog of my professional work and personal interests. Also a place where I can play and experiment with web technologies. The plan is to grow it over time. Subdomains allow me to keep the content organized and segmented, yet bound together as a body of related material. For the couple of subdomains currently active I've used Wordpress as it's pretty good for written content. (For anyone wondering, I did not use Wordpress Multisite because of its limited subdomain support.)
About me
I am a writer of content both technical and non-technical, a web developer, GUI designer, and editor. I've also stocked shelves, delivered pizzas, washed dishes, tended bar, worked in factories and call centers, taught college English, and painted houses. Originally from the Philadelphia area, I now live in Massachusetts with my wife, Ellen, children Sarah and Ben, and cats Fiji and Claw.
I am passionate about authoring, web design, and fly fishing. When I'm not doing one of those I may be boating, gardening, cooking, or in my own small way, trying to create a little every day art.
Some of my other sites
