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 Carmel, Indiana.
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 on WNIN-FM from September 2008 to February 2010 where I talked to lots of interesting people.
I still do a weekly segment during Morning Edition & All Things Considered for WNIN, but my main broadcasting interest is IRQ Conflict: an approximately 10 minute rundown of the top technology related stories from the perspective of a Mac developer and a Windows developer.
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.
