Hello. I am Rodney Keeling. I am 19 years old, and I attend Oregon State University for electrical/ computer engineering. I was born in Portland and lived there nearly all of my life. It´s definitely one of the most diverse and entertaining cities I know of. I am taken by a girl named Holly Ho, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. :]


I love graphic&web design, typography and minimalism especially. In terms of web design, I am proficient in XHTML, CSS, and some Javascript. PHP is next on my list. Also, this website is 100% XHTML 1.1 and CSS valid. I am well-versed in using Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Espresso, Flash, and more. I can program in Java, and I know a bit of C, but I will learn more. Objective-C is also on my list. Speaking of Objective-C, I plan to develop an iPhone/iPod Touch app this summer if everything goes right, so look out for that. I use Linux and OS X almost equally, and Windows never. I have a ton of online social networking accounts, which are displayed to the left of this paragraph. Feel free to friend me up on those sites.


I am hoping to go to grad school and mainly research new IC material and design. I would rather not have a normal 9 to 5 job, for it seems so boring and repetitive. If university research doesn´t work out, I´d love to work as a design engineer at Apple. I also have a pretty big interest in robotics, so that´s another field I wouldn´t mind working in. I have a few videos on my vimeo page that show some of the projects I have done with robots (mainly my Tekbot).


When I´m not on the computer, I love tea, climbing rocks and random large objects, read crazy novels, and listening to music. My favorite tea right now is pu-erh; it´s a dark, earthy tea, and it´s delicious! I also really like Matcha Shakes! My favorite authors are James Joyce and Mark Danielewski. I listen to nearly every type of music, with the exception of country.
