Welcome to pieps.org - Nick Piepmeier's personal homepage.
<4/14/08> pieps.org is back, and this time it has more uptime! Woo hoo!
<2/22/08> As of today, pieps.org will be down for a while. Expect it to be back up within a month.
<1/11/08> I have died in a blogging accident.
<12/18/07> To all potential employers:
Thanks so much for the consideration, but I've decided to stay with the EA family and will be heading off to EA Montreal in January.
Please keep in touch, as someday I may be out of work again.
<11/9/07>I'm currently unemployed due to the tragic closure of EA Chicago.

My 1up.com page - It seems that Google vomits up the other Nick Piepmeier's 1up page when someone Googles my (our) name, so in an attempt to avoid confusion, the preceding is my 1up.com page. Please notice that it's different from the other Nick's. Mine is very boring, and I don't suggest you go there.

The Future of the Internet - And How to Stop It by Jonathan Zittrain. This book hits so many issues on the head. It really should be required reading for anyone who uses technology today. And reading it shouldn't be a problem - the book is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share-Alike 3.0 license and is freely downloadable. Seriously. Read this book. It's really important.

Twitter - now private due to w3top doing some shady business with my posts. I'm compelled to make a formal delcaration of shenanigans. If you'd like to get my updates, just request to follow me.
Shotgun Commonlaw - a centralized repository of rules pertaining to calling shotgun when you're about to get into a car.
Free DNS - This wonderful service helps with the fact that getting a static IP address without paying an arm and a leg to AT&T is essentially impossible.
Oh, and if you take issue with my choice of color schemes here, I apologize. My eyes, after being stuck watching a screen for about 12 hours a day for as long as I can remember, have informed me that they are planning to start The Revolution if I look at excessively bright things except when absolutely necessary.
Since you are not attached to my face, I'm inclined to side with the eyes on this one.
