Welcome to my site!
Photo courteousy of Andrew Mager
As you have probably already gathered, my name is Jeremy Johnstone. I live in Silicon Valley, California and work for
a tiny web startup you probably never heard of,
, working specifically
on a widgets platform for televisions which will be on a majority of mid to high end televisions sold in 2009.
In my day job I am a software engineer, mainly focusing on web based development. I have experience in most web development languages, but my highest proficiency is in PHP, Flex/AS3, and Javascript. I've worked on a number of open source projects in the past and have also worked in a wide variety of different fields. Check out my resume for a more detailed overview of my skills and work history.
For fun, I love to travel, take photos, and scuba dive. So far, I've traveled all over Western Europe, all over North America, and also have been to the U.A.E. (Abu Dhabi and Dubai specifically). My hope is that I can make it to India and SE Asia before the end of the year, but we will see how that goes. You can view a small sample of the photos I have taken by clicking on the photos tab at the top of any page of this site. More photos are also available on Flickr via the link in the top right corner of the page. Most of my diving so far has been focused in the Caribbean, but I have also dove a couple times off the coast of both the state of California and Virginia as well as many inland lakes.

Normally SimpleXML is enough to handle most XML parsing needs, but the plist XML format is just broken enough to make [...]

10:28pm - Interesting/probable Grey's Anatomy rumor on Izzy/Denny: http://is.gd/ajah Not sure it's worth the backlash as seen here: http://is.gd/ajap
10:15pm - @ABCGreysAnatomy One would think with you being on twitter and all, you would pay attention to the comments Re: Denny. Seems 100% negative.
10:12pm - Thinking I might do something uncharacteristic and leave work early today and be sociable in public. Me, going out on a friday night? Wow!
