About Me

Ah, yes, the obligatory “About Me” page…

Its an interesting question – how you’re supposed to introduce yourself to the world. I guess it depends on your overall personality. For some they might be bold, loud and abrasive  – the kind of guy that you definitely won’t forget, but not exactly the one that you’ll be interested in – or – someone who is so introverted and lacking charisma that you might not even notice him at all.

Luckily, I’m somewhere in the middle.

The name is Ryan Robitaille.

I’ve been around for roughly 3 decades.

I’m a lot of things and I like to consider my self a bit of a “new media renaissance man”, but I currently make my living as a programmer – which virtually guarantees you’ll see very little ‘programming’ talk on here. You’re much more likely to hear rants on the Sistine Chapel than my adventures with Python scripting.

During these past 30 years that I’ve been around I feel as if I’ve been a number of “different people”. It took over 20 years for me to realize that I should just be myself instead of what others wanted from and imposed upon me – and then a few more on top of that to step back and re-evaluate who I actually WAS.

The good thing about making shitty decisions over and over again? You learn a LOT – and they are much better lessons than people who took the “safe” or “smart” path learned.
