ZATZAi's photostream  

I’m a self taught graphic design and web programmer. Starting in elementary school and on through college and beyond I was very interested in computers, and learned how to do things through trial and error. Eventually I taught myself html, javascript, php and basic graphic design. Before I took classes on them all in school where I learned photoshop, fireworks, flash and director. I’ve of course had several different sites online off and on over the years, being the sort of person that moves from one project to the next.

One of my more recent projects was in Second Life where I created a community known as Artificial Isle that covered over 300,000 square meters of space within the heart of a larger community known as the United Sailing Sims. Here I provided homes and entertainment for the avatars of people who “lived and worked” there. It was a grand experiment with activities such as iron clad battles, theater conventions, fashion shows, races, sports competitions and more. The grounds offered many avenues for professional and casual use, including an amphitheater, stages, docks, swamp land, an airport etc, and it was all highly automated. Sadly it eventually became unsustainable due to complications in life and I had to give it up. I have a much more subtle presence in this virtual world but I will always cherish the memories I gained over that 5 year stretch, it was really quite a ride…
