About Me

About Matt, A Personal Bio
A 33 year old Eastern suburbs Sydney boy (also known as an IT geek) now found in the Western suburbs of Adelaide (the things we do for love). Married to the beautiful and smart Dr Casey (who still seems hell bent on accruing Australia’s largest HECS debt) and “Dad-Dad-Dad” to one crazy but totally worth it toddler, Oscar. Still working at squeezing in my Bachelor of Business Studies (Management). Travelled the world enough to know there’s still way too much still to see. Proud owner of (and financial benefactor to) an MG and 2 Burmese cats.


Representing the Self, My Avatars
I am a strong believer in authenticity on the Internet. While I have held this belief over my 18 years of Internet usage only recently has technology allowed and society encouraged one to remove the blurred line between a digital and real world representation of themselves. I believe a digital representation should be no different to a real representation; hence I use a real photo’s of myself as my avatar.

I use two different Avatars:

Professional
(work email / SharePoint, Linkedin)
16 Years years in the IT field
Social
(Facebook, personal interest forums).
Family man that loves to travel

Aim of this blog
Using the social and communication capabilities of Web 2.0, I hope to document steps, show the development and capture even a little bit of the craziness of being a father for the first time. If you want to follow this process feel free to follow me on twitter, flickr, or Essentialbaby.
