Born in Montreal, Canada three days after the Space Shuttle Challenger carried the first African-American astronaut into space, I lived a pretty normal childhood. My family moved to a little town in the suburbs of Montreal a few months after my birth and I was raised like every other kids in the ’80s … watching TV!

My love for TV evolved to music, cinema and video games. But nothing would compare with a little thing I was introduced to in 1997 … the Internet.

Computers always interested me. Before that summer of 1997 we had an old Intel 486 with green and black screen and a keyboard with no mouse. The computer was running an old version of DOS and the only software I used was WordPerfect 5.2. I read the entire manual and knew every keyboard shortcut. With my dot matrix printer, I printed banners with incredible graphics I spent hours creating in WordPerfect. But all of that was nothing compared to the new computer my parent bought that summer. A state of the art Pentium 1 100Mhz MMX running Windows 95 with Internet acces via a telephone line.

A new world opened to me that summer.  The following year, I took a programming class in high school, leaving behind the music class I had been taking for the last three years (I played the tuba!!). I learned how to program in Visual Basic for my last two years of high school and then went to college in Computering where I learned other programming languages and all there is to know about computers.

After college, I got a job as a System Analyst in a big International company with offices in every country around the world. I traveled to Europe working in different countries and discovering new cultures. I am now working as a Computer Technician for a clinical laboratory.

With all of this my passion, for everything entertainment never went away. I still watch almost every TV shows there is, my music library grows every week and I spend a lot of times at the movies. My friends even call me PMDB for Philippe Movie Database.

I also like to read about everything and anything on the web. From the latest meme to a small story about a man dying at 62 years old right after bowling a perfect game, I read it all (almost!). This is what I will bring to this blog, anything I discover, read about or listened to.

I hope you will enjoy it.
