I'm not fat... you cop! :lol:

- yes it is exactly the same thing
- yes, joey was mac, and the robot was CHEESE
- yes doctor, you are indeed fat
- yes i love my mac and cheese... esp. the deluxe kind... however, i CANNOT stomach any variation of any Kraft brand mac and cheese, be it velveeta or regular or shaped noodles.... NONE. its disgsting. from what ive found, store brands are usual;ly the best
- whats ironic about Kraft is that despite the fact that my 70 year old grandfather buys store brand generic mac and cheese, nor what time of the day it is or what meal you are eating, he still refers to it as "Kraft dinner"

My name is Peter Robert Berg, born 7/26/1985. I was raised in the small town of Owego, NY, and lived there until I was in 9th grade, when I moved to the smaller, neighboring town of Candor (population: 800, streetlights: 0). My mom owns and operates a small weekly newspaper called the "Tioga County Courier," and my dad makes primitive weapons, called atlatls for a living. My family also owns about a dozen apartment houses that we rent out. Both of my parents are self-employed entrepreneurs, and they prefer to "live by their wits" and make their living by pursuing their own interests rather than taking a job with some company.

I had a pretty standard small town childhood, and did well in school. When I was a kid, I was involved with everything: cub scouts, soccer, little league, basketball, karate, sunday school, gymnastics, ski club, Venture crew, Boy Scouts, Envirothon (environmental trivia competition), Odyssey of the Mind (a problem-solving competition), scholarship challenge (trivia), the school newspaper and literary magazines, National Honor Society, church youth group, gaming club, the school play, film club, etc. My favorite hobbies were camping, surfing the internet, designing websites, playing videogames and making crappy videos with my friends. I was involved in tons of clubs and organizations and, I have to admit, I had a fairly wholesome, all-American, sunshine and white picket fences upbringing... In 2003, I became an Eagle Scout, graduated 2nd in my class of 230 students from Owego Free Academy, and got accepted to to Ithaca College, where I received a full free-ride scholarship to study Television-Radio.

I'm now a junior at Ithaca College, majoring in Video Production and minoring in Scriptwriting. I'm heavily involved in our school television station, and spend the majority of my free time working on ICTV productions. Last semester, I directed a live movie reviews show every week (called The Screening Room), shot and directed a mockumentary show called "Better Safe Than", and produced/create/directed/wrote/animated a cartoon show called "Unicorn Boy." You can see all of these at www.ictv.org (I designed that site and run it). Last year, I shot / directed a sketch comedy show and a mockumentary show, and I've worked on several other ICTV shows ranging from a game show to a cooking show to a late night talk show. This semester, I'm living in Los Angeles and interning at Actual Reality Pictures.

I got interested in programming when I was 11 or 12, mainly because I loved video games, and I the thought of making my own videogames was awesome. However, I never really made much progress on my own projects because I didn't stick with them. I was always more interested in coming up with intricate plot lines, drawing out the characters or planning the battle system on paper, etc. and never really released anything. I would always end up playing other people's completed games instead of working on my own. Like all young kids into QB back in 1997/1998, I decided to start my own QB site...and I started Pete's QB Site. Once I started that, all of the time I used to spend programming went to working on my site...which I always found to be a lot more fun and satisfying than QB coding.

I've made about a dozen other websites over the years, and I love the idea of independent publishing. I guess I get it from my mother and my father, who have both printed their own newspapers. That's why I decided to start QB Express: not because I have any overbearing interest in QB/FB programming, but because I'm really interested in writing and publishing.

Anyway, that's me in a nutshell. In the future, I hope to be an independent documentary filmmaker, or a producer of reality TV shows.

btw i thought i should mention this cuz i didnt in my first post about me:

I really love to drive.... fast...... I mean I don't particularly love driving 85mph (im guessin about 145kph) when its my crappy New Yorker Fifth Avenue down a really long stretch of road surrounded by forests and no doubt deer; but I do certainly enjoy goin from 0 to 55 in 5 seconds when im deliverin pizza... and goin around other cars makes me feel reeeeal good...

Honestly I think I would be happy as a race car driver, but I think that's about as hard to get into (financially speaking) as singing or acting on television. Not to mention my wife will never allow it

Also, I reeeeally wanna make cartoons.. Preferably in Flash MX, and I don't think it would be fun to have any reoccuring theme (like a single character that reappears in every episode), but instead just random hilarity. I have currently 3 ideas for 30 second cartoons that are hilarious but have nothing in common.

The problem is, it's incredibly hard for me to make my characters' body-parts move independantly... I'm thinking there either must be some trick to making it happen easily and look smooth (The Brothers Chap do it all the time with H*R cartoons) or I'm much too lazy to make cartoons. I'm really hoping towards the former...

Seph, check out my cartoon: Unicorn Boy. It's about an awkward middle school student who was born with a unicorn horn growing out of his head.

It's a full half-hour show that we animated primarily in Flash. So far, we've only finished one episode, but we have many more in the works. We've already written about ten more episodes....all of which are funnier than the first one...and we've recorded the audio for our second episode.

Even though it's got simple animation and very little movement, it took damn near forever to animate the first episode. Before you start making a cartoon, make sure you have LOTS of time to dedicate to it.

then my question is how can SB Emails be made in one week?

I'm Jacob Thomas Myers, born on Valentine's day 1991 in Waterloo, Iowa. My dad left me and my mom when I was 2, and I got word he died in 1997(like I care(d)). I live a dull existence as a broke teen with one brother and three sisters. Currently I live in Indiana, and I'm a freshman. That's about all there is to know about me, aside from the fact I know 4 programming languages, and know a little Latin.
