Andy Shinn
i am a full blown computer 'do-it-all', an internet handyman, sometimes even at your service! when i am not on the edge of technology i enjoy biking, jogging (and then walking, when i tire), composing music, playing guitar (that may make your ears bleed), and playing video games.
i run my own company, fist in hand networks. fihn is a business to business managed hosting and internet services provider.
enjoy music? so do i! even enough to run my own radio station.
enjoy various clips from my personal audio folder - stuff i either made or had a hand in.
