friskyGeek is the personal web log of Faisal Sultan. I guess what Im most known on the Internet for is friskyRadio.com, which I started back in 2001 and has slowly grown into one of the leading sites for Underground Dance Music on the Internet.

For my ‘Real Job’ I work as a Streaming Media Engineer at a large Internet/New Media Company - responsible for online Radio and Video. I started my career in Streaming Media when I joined Spinner.com back in 1999 - which was the very first online music radio service on the web.

Besides ranting and raving about crap on this blog, I enjoy taking pictures, watching movies, commenting on politics, and listening to music. I also love graphic design and would like to get better at it.

This is actually the 7th version of this web site. When I started this journal back in 2000, it was hosted on the blogger platform. I migrated it to Movable Type back in 2003 - and now this site uses Wordpress. Why Wordpress? Ease of use, great online community that creates kick-ass plugins and most importantly - because Movable Type just sucks.

    Another example of how gutless and incompetent Obama is turning out to be. Now they want to try the 911 “mastermind” in a military court, backtracking on earlier announcements on trying him somewhere in the US, which was a backtrack of an earlier announcement to try him in New York. Say what you will about Bush and the Republicans, at least when they make up their minds and set to do something - they do it. I respect that a lot more than the back-tracking like Democrats.
