    I just stumbled on a great blog entry by Tyson Dowd about the legacy of the DataGrid Girl (aka Marcie Robillard).  Naming yourself after a cool .NET class is very daring, but cool nonetheless, as Tyson attempts to clear a name for himself.  Thanks Tyson for making my day that much better.  I'm looking through the .NET classes trying to make a name for myself...and I'm coming up short.  I'll stick to coding rather than trying to be a celebrity in the community.

    My name is Brian Swiger.  I've been a developer for 8 years.  My background is mostly military contracting (although I've never been in the military).  My strengths are Visual Basic/VB.NET/ASP.NET although I have completed several Java/ColdFusion/PERL/JSP/C# projects.  I enjoy my transition to .NET with VB because of the object-oriented aspects of the language.  I currently work at ACI Worldwide, an e-payments software company, as a Web developer currently working with .NET technologies.  I've worked at SAIC (a government contractor amongst other things),  HDR (engineering/architecture), American Agrisurance (crop insurance, no longer in business), and e-Vansys, Inc. (a small dot-bomb that is no longer in business).
