About the dude, Eric Courtney

Submitted by Eric Courtney on Tue, 2006-07-25 04:05.

Do you really want to know me?

You asked for it... My name? Well it's pretty obvious by now. 2006 yielded my 40th year on this planet (yet I will always be 39 at heart). I'm originally from Sacramento, California. It was a great place to grow up. I currently reside in Anchorage, Alaska. I work as a graphic, web, interactive designer for the Anchorage Daily News.

I have a few nicknames that have stuck over the last few years. During a softball season years ago, a teammate of mine called me e-dawg as I walked up to the plate. I hit a home run and the name has stuck ever since. I'm also known as Torpedo by many different web communities Online. So... If you see some of my blog posts are posted by Torpedo, you'll understand that it is actually just me working under a nick.

Ok so you made it this far down the page. I’m shocked. You have now entered into the realm of complete friggin goofyness. You will soon regret the time wasted here that could have been used doing something productive, like playing online poker, video-chatting with your mom, or even better... surfing around MySpace.

Go ahead. Keep browsing around. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Want more? Ok, here is a little q&a deal I stole from a good friend of mine, Michelle Bartleman! Enjoy!
