CTOVERDRIVE | Connor Turner Overdrive

The c.t. in c.t.overdrive stands for Connor Turner. This happens to be the name my lovely parents decided to bestow upon me.

I am a self-taught web designer and entrepreneur. I proudly run a swanky web design studio called Armadillo Studios Inc (Please check out the Hire Me page for more professional information). I also run the ever popular yycapps.com project.

I'm a Calgarian, a Luddite, an Irish-English first generation Canadian. I also happen to have one foot in Calgary and the other in Washington, DC. I am happily engaged married to a much smarter woman than I. She's a social media academic and together we make an embarrassingly adorable tech couple.

On the personality side, I am your atypical high fidelity music geek. I love campy movies, especially of the zombie variety. I’m obsessed with bold T-Shirt designs and comic book aesthetics. I have some other obsessions, but Astrid Kuhn and Tara McCool are not one of them. If you read a few the old posts you'll get the gist of it.

Keep Calm & Carry On

Most of the comments I make are meant to be tongue in cheek and entertaining. In no way have I created this site to offend or hurt anyone in any matter, except Oiler fans. Actually you can add kids who wear skinny pants to that list. If you take anything I say seriously, we are probably not going to get along anyways, so just walk away from the computer. If you have taken exception to something I've written and you want me to hear you out just email me. ( cturner [at this] domain name )

What Does c.t.overdrive Mean?

Where does c.t.overdrive come from you ask? Besides the obvious High Fidelity reference/Bachman Turner Overdrive (BTO) parody, CTO (Connor Turner Overdrive) was the name I used to give a night of hard drinking and stupidity. An evening of CTO was always, always accompanied by blackouts and regrets. Unfortunately my Doc’s advice has kyboshed this manner of lifestyle. So as homage to my enjoyable and somewhat regrettable past it is now the title of this lame garble of words and ideas.

P.S. The official writing of c.t.overdrive is in all lower case letters. I make this distinction, because It makes me feel pretentious.
