Hey there, my name is Anthony Russo. I am currently studying to become a Computer Engineer at California State University, Bakersfield. My hobbies and favorite games include Minecraft, TF2, Super Smash Bros, working on computers, and making memes with Photoshop. Here are a few quick facts about myself:

Favorite Color: Blue
Favorite Candy: Peach Rings
Favorite Animal: Cats or Snails
Favorite Music Genre: Classic Rock and Blues

Dislikes: Splinters, the deep ocean, squeaky styrofoam, smudges on smooth surfaces, anti-consumer practices, slow internet, and CSS.

 The Russo Block is a pet project of mine to help me become more familiar with web development. While web development is not my career path of choice, I still see it as a fun, and valuable skill to learn. With any luck, I will be able to have some success as a freelance web developer through college.

 I had stylized this blog with lots of navy blue and orange (my favorite colors) and was largely aiming for a 1970s striped drop-shadow effect (such as this) I have a soft spot for "retro" looks: older campers, older computers, older guitars, that sort of thing.

 As I had mentioned earlier, this blog is supposed to act as a journal of mine going forward and I don't typically care for Instagram, Twitter, or other forms of social media, and I like the freedom creating your own website gives you, even if it took me four revisions to get it right. So then, make yourself at home. Enjoy!
