I'm Peter Bierman. When I was a toddler, my parents gave me a box of electrical junk to play with, and it seems to have affected me...

I started playing with computers in 4th grade.
At my high school, I built a computer network.
For my senior year walkabout, I was an intern at Apple on the System 7.5 team:

I went to college at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, but I moved to California after two years there.

I'd written a nifty version of the Apple CD Audio Player that could store track and title information on the Internet, so I got a job in the Rhapsody Applications group. My first challenge was porting the NeXT installer scripts over to the Macintosh. I've been working on the OS X installer for more than 10 years! I think that's like 100 Internet-years.

Recently, I've become quite fond of ice hockey, playing twice weekly at Ice Oasis, and going to lots of Sharks games.

I've also become a member of the Tech Shop, where I've learned how to weld steel and machine aluminium. Building physical things is fun!

I married my sweetie, Carolyn, in June. We went on a motorcycle adventure in Australia for our honeymoon.

More coming...
