About | Nik Gomez

The Overview – all in all

nikgomez.com has been run/edited/published/designed/maintained by me (Nik Gomez) since March 26th, 2007. I am a student, a sophomore to be exact, at USC. I am a computer science & business administration major. Having lived in small town Fallbrook, California for over eight years has kindled a certain need to live in a city for a while. Los Angeles is looking like quite a prime choice of land for the next 4+ years of my life. It doesn’t hurt that LA has an amazing music scene…

The Blog – the writing is kind of important

This is an example of a blog. Here you will find opinionated articles on the areas of technology, music, film, politics, etc… Boundaries aren’t really allowed. Simplicity rules, humor is necessary, and it (everything) must be interesting. If you find something that is boring, please let me know.

The Design – like the way this site looks?

Just so you know, the design of this site is ongoing. Do not expect it to stay stagnant for too long. Why? Because I think that no matter what design your site has, it gets old within a month. You might disagree, but this isn’t your blog, is it? The underlying theme/skin for all of this is the amazing The Unstandard Theme.

To give credit where credit is due, nearly every icon you will find on this page is part of the famfamfam silk icon package. In case you don’t know, the icon pack has 1000 icons in it, and anyone can use them for free! Also, I use Matt Brett’s Feed Icons package for the rss & atom icons up on the nav bar.

The Hosting – where is this virtual site located?

Apart from the nikgomez.com domain name, the files that make up this web page are all hosted by Dreamhost. If you are interested in starting your own web page or blog and find Dreamhost to fit your needs, use the promo code NIKG11 at signup to get $50 off the cost.

Random Junk – facts/figures/whatever

i hate spiders, insects, and all things with wiry legs
tarantulas are fine by me
country should never be followed by the word “music”, because it shouldn’t be a genre
music is essential to life, concerts go hand in hand with this idea, that is why i go to so many
