Welcome

Hi! My name’s Nicki. I’m a thirty-something web developer living in Birmingham, Alabama with my husband, Jim, and daughter, Jessie. We both work in the IT industry … he’s actually a bigger geek than I am!

I love to play around with my blog — well, this whole site in general actually. I also dabble in graphic design when time allows. I consider myself an avid gamer, but prefer FPSs and RPGs to MMORPGs. I am an editor for Addons.Mozilla.Org, and spend a good deal of my time in the WordPress community.

My interests are: meeting interesting people, blogging, cooking, dancing, singing, writing and composing, comic books, cartoons, reading (fantasy, horror and sci-fi are my faves!), watching movies (I love action and “B” movies), anything to do with animals, and anything to do with technology.

I have lived in Alabama all of my life. I was raised just north of Birmingham in a small “country” community named Corner. I have a deep appreciation and love of nature. I also love sports — particularly college football. My favorite team is the University of Alabama Crimson Tide. I also love hockey, and am a huge Pittsburgh Penguins fan. I love music, and love pretty much anything but country. (Ironic, no?) I’ve a deep love for the blues and have lately developed a taste for bluegrass.

Volunteer Work

I am currently volunteering my services for Soldiers’ Angels and am currently the admin/owner of the Soldiers’ Angels of Alabama website. Past charitable and volunteer works have included Princess Girlz Ministries, A Million Thanks, Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, Big Brothers / Big Sisters and the United Way.
