Name: Josiah David Hester Birth Day: 11/09/1989 Home: Kailua, Hawaii Interests: Graphics, Web 2.0, Music, Interesting Philosphy and Religion, Film (all of it), Games (creating, designing, playing), weird history, weird facts, the beach, going to the beach, being at the beach, beach stuff. About Me: I am a computer scientist, musician, philosopher, researcher, poet, writer, composer, surfer, lover and fan of long lists (as is evident). If you see something you like, feel free to drop me a line at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  Right now I am attending Clemson University as a Computer Science major.  I compose and play music in much of my spare time, as well as write programs in Java, C/C++ and various other languages that interest me.

I began my computing career when I was twelve with my first website, written in HTML.  Back then that was all there was,  no AJAX, Javascript or CSS.  From there my dad gave me a book on Java 1.1, The Java Black Book and told me to read through it and try stuff.  I eventually started working as an intern for Crosslogic Corporation, then I worked for Number Six as a portlet developer, soon after I helped to create the Hebraic Heritage Christian Center, an online biblically influenced college, as an independent consultant.  From there I worked various small gigs, wrote a few articles, and finally graduated from high school in Hawaii.  Now I am a part time consultant for Pacific Hi-Tech, recently we taught a class for the Justice Department of Hawaii for IBM.

I created this site as a repository for my creative interests and hopefully a technology forum for others with some of the same interests. 
With the advancement of new and amazing web and computing technology, the changing face of information and communication, and the tumultuous changes happening at home and abroad, we live in an exciting time full of opportunity as well as failure.
