The uber geeks

And you would be?

I would be the new guy. I’ve been told that it doesn’t always suck but then again, sometimes it does. It’s probably time for me to explain who I am, where I come from, and just exactly what I do. This could be harder than I thought.

The easiest would probably be to start with who I am. My name is Mike Stickel and I’m an alcoholic. Whoops, wrong place. Sorry kids, us old guys get confused often. I’m the newest edition to the übersquad and I also happen to the oldest and shortest (out of the guys) by a pretty good margin too. The real kicker is that I’m a canuck. That’s right, I live in my cozy, little igloo in the vastness that is Canada.

In actuality, I like to call myself a deseloper [or designeloper, depending on what part of the world you live in], which is a combination designer and developer. I graduated from college with a diploma in visual communications and since then have taught myself the methods and madness of web development. I currently run my own successful web design and development company, called Screenflicker Developments, based out of Calgary, Alberta.

Now I’m sure I’ve wasted enough of your time so I should get back to business. I think I hear the crew sneaking up on me to continue the hazing ceremony so I’d best be off before they catch me. Always remember, have fun and keep your stick on the ice.

    I was always told to keep my stick away from ice.

    Must be a Canadian thing then. You’re really missing out if you don’t try it at least once.

    Small world Mike. I’m currently living in St. Albert, and working in Edmonton (not native to the area though, originally from PEI).

    Hey Jeff, I’ll be up in Edmonton Oct. 7th for the Urban Male Magazine (UMM) 7th anniversary party. A client of mine, Phyne Clothing (Phyneclothing.com), is doing some cross promotions with them at the Rum Jungle.

    I remember going through your site a few weeks ago as well. Had myself a good little read on your blog.

    I’m usually at the office until 4:30 - 5 most days, so when you’re in town, if you feel like grabbing a happy hour beer, feel free to drop me an email.
