About Me

Me by Ian Kuc

My name is Dan Schonhaar and this is my blog! Welcome.

Here I write about all kinds of crap. Movies, Comics, the web, technology and everything ese in between.

Where do I start… well, I’m 26 years old and live in Derbyshire, England although I’m originally from Ontario, Canada. I run mostly on Caffine. I love movies, web design, cooking, robots, comic books, music, skateboarding and my lovely girlfriend, Nat, she’s awesome :D . I’ve recently gotten into photography and try to go out shooting whenever I can. I’m also fighting a winning fight with the intricacies of WordPress, the platform on which this very blog is built.

I also love going to live gigs and do enjoy the odd beer… or glass of wine…. or Jack and Coke. I usually just go out drinking in pubs and bars because I like to be able to talk to my friends but I have been known to frequent the alternative clubs of Nottingham, Derby, Birmingham and Sheffield.

I occasionally build websites too and have a good working relationship with the guy(s) over at minutedesigns.com who provide my hosting. I have a passion for standards based, accessible site design and regularly make [X]HTML and CSS my bitch.

This blog is basically about all the things I’ve mentioned above, along with some other random shiznit that I find of interest. I regularly write reviews of movies and discuss web design and technology as I’m a massive geek!

I have a fantastic group of friends who I’d do anything for. You guys are awesome!
