Welcome!

This blog is the cumulative of my work the past few months.  I plan on updating this blog with thoughts and my spare time projects.   Hopefully this won’t become like my other blogs I have had in the past where I would ignore it and stop posting.

A little about myself: my name is Gary and I’m living on the east coast of the United States. I’m a technology enthusiast who likes programming, drawing, math, and creating stories. I’m knowledgable in XHTML, CSS, PHP, and Ruby and currently learning Python.  I’m going to take a computer science class at school where I hope to learn Java as well.

The name finalstar comes from quite some time ago when I had dreams of starting a video game company and in those dreams, the company was called Final Star.  It evolved over the years to just represent what ever I was working on at the time.  I registered the domain finalstar.net in 2005 and it hosted these odd projects I’ve been working on.  I also own finalstar.org but I’m not sure what to do with it yet.

Currently, I’m working on Last.fm Artists, a plugin I made that displays images of a user’s top listened to artists.  It basically Last.Fm Records but for artist instead of albums.  You can check it out more at it’s project page.
