Interests
Websites
I am the proud creator of websites like truthbehindconnecticut.com and the ever-so-beautiful mikailkraft.com you had the opportunity to gaze upon. A real website I've worked on, however, is angelsadvocatehomecare.com, which serves as the landing page for a homecare company where prospective employees and clients alike have the opportunity to inquire online about their future with the company.
Hardware Repair
My passion for hardware repair immediately coincided my enthusiasm for retro technology. It was much cheaper to buy old computers and consoles that were broken and fix them myself. After repairing dozens of iPods, I was able to fund bigger purchases, like my Playstation 1, Playstation 2, and Apple IIc.
Weight lifting
I made it a goal of mine to gain weight and lift weights. After a few months I found out weightlifting was more fun than gaining weight, but the second part is a necessity.
