: About Me

I'm Matt, a college student at a small public school (around 4,000 undergraduates) in Colorado Springs. I've moved about 15 times over the past 20 years or so, and I've been fortunate enough to spend around 3 years in Europe. I've been to about 46 states in the US, and I've been to several territories within Canada. My favorite state, by far, is South Carolina, and at the moment, that's where I'd like to retire. I can't wait to see more of the world!

Finally, I'm a very competitive person. If I see someone doing something that I know I can do, I'm usually likely to challenge that person to see if they're better overall. Again, how fitting, considering Helium is all about competitive writing (in a sense).

Why I write ...

My first job ...

Older versions of Facebook had a date and time associated with every action. The newest version of Facebook only adds dates and times to photo album postings and comments made on other walls. Each and every event is logged...
