Hi! Welcome to my website.

My name is Ben Birney. As you can see, there are three things that I do: computer programming, music and things that are nerdy. Some crazy marketing people would say it's a bad idea to serve all three ideas on one website - but, fortunately, I can't be bothered to build three websites for myself. So, here we all are, together, under one big tent. I'm sure all the music theatre people will have a grand old time laughing at my feeble roleplaying antics, and the the programmers can ask themselves what that fruitcake is doing down in New York now.

It's a fair question, and one that I aim to answer with the fine hyperlinks above. (They're purple, so you can tell. I'm all about usability.)

Potential clients: enjoy my webpage, and also check out my improved PostNuke Demo - an example of all the wonderful things you can do with customizations to the PostNuke CMS, geared toward non-technical users.
