About
Hi. My name is Justin Williams and I am the crew chief of Second Gear, the creator of such fine Mac applications as Today and Check Off. I am a 2006 graduate of Purdue University with a degree in Computer & Information Technology. I currently live in downtown Evansville, Indiana.
In 2007 I authored two books: Rails Solutions - Ruby on Rails Made Easy and Getting StartED With Mac OS X Leopard.
I also dabble in tech punditry. I write a weekly technology column in the Evansville Courier & Press. You can read the archives by clicking here. I also hosted a weekly technology talk show called Plugged In from September 2008 to February 2010 where I talked to lots of interesting people.
About This Site
carpeaqua has been my online home since January 15, 2003. Through various iterations and CMS systems, it has always been a place for me to share my thoughts and ideas about technology, sports, pop culture and more.
The first iterations of this Web site ran on MovableType before transitioning to Wordpress in 2005. In January 2007 carpeaqua switched to using Tumblr for a year before transitioning back to Wordpress. The site is currently hosted by Joyent.
