Welcome to Life in Beta, my life-blog.
If you prefer to see some of my freelance work, have a look at Think Six Digital If you are a knitting-fanatic, check out Mandi Knits. If you’re a big-ol’-geek like myself, then you might enjoy Geeking Out.
Who, me?
I’m Amanda. Friends call me Mandi.
I’m 28. My birthday is February 24th. That makes me a Pisces. And it suits me.
I’m a developer, designer, and all-around tech geek. I am primarily a .NET programmer but outside work I’m a huge Apple fangirl. (Shhhh!)
I make my home in Erie, Pennsylvania, though I left part of my heart back in Nashville, Tennessee, where I lived for three and a half years and made some of the best friends I’ve ever had.
I love animals, knitting, Mexican food, and coffee … lots and lots of coffee.
My heros are Kevin Rose, Timothy Ferriss, and my mom.
I’m learning to love again, thanks to a wonderful man who almost daily shatters my misconceptions and preconceived notions about romantic relationships.
I drive a Honda Element because I’m practical and a Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo because I like to go fast.
My pets are my children: Gracie is a puggle (pug/beagle mix) and Stuart is a handsome tuxedo cat.
Empathy is my greatest weakness, but also a strength. I can be a workaholic at times. I live to be challenged and love to work under pressure. I am the girl you want on your side in a crisis.
I consider life one giant adventure. Learning is my passion, I will never stop exploring and growing as a person. So you, dear reader, can follow my (mis)adventures here on my blog.
