The Life and Times of
Robert (Bobby) Miller

That's the abridged version, anyway. I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2007. While there, I studied web programming and art. I graduated with a BS in Computer Internet Development. During the final two years of school, I taught myself computer animation from a sheer passion of creation with computers, and a love for the art itself. I love telling stories, and I found animation to be a wonderful medium for doing so. I'm currently working as production crew at WNDU-TV, an NBC affiliate station in South Bend, IN. I'm always working on improving my abilities while working. By combining my logic and art backgrounds, I hope to become a technical director in the animation industry.

I'm a huge computer buff. I love swapping and tweaking PC hardware and seeing how much I can squeeze out of my components. I'm a PC gamer, but I have to admit that I don't get around to playing games nearly as much these days as I used to. As a kid, I couldn't get enough of jumping Mario over chasms of nothing and running Sonic through ridiculous amounts of loops and corkscrews. My brother and I discovered PC gaming with the release of Half-Life in '98. I spent many hours experimenting with the engine by creating custom sprays and maps. I've always found the progression of the games industry fascinating, ever since I held the controller of an NES in my little 5 year old hands.

More recently I have begun writing articles for the online tech journal Icrontic acting as the Computer Graphics Tech Writer. This has been a great experience for me as it allows me to progress my writing abilities, as well as stay in line with current trends in graphics technology.

For those who are into this sort of thing, here are my PC's specs:

Gigabyte 3D Aurora Chassis
Gigabyte GA-965P ATX Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 Processor @ 2.6 ghz (Overclocked)
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX GPU
3 Gigabytes of DDR2 800 RAM
2 SATA HDD at 250 GB each

Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Speakers

I also have a MacBook for developing on the go. I have no allegiance.
