About Brian »

Hi, my name is Brian O'Flaherty, I have recently received a Bachelor's degree in Information Systems. I am currently working as a part-time web developer and interning as a Java developer for companies in the south Bay Area.

In school, I excelled in English, History, Philosophy or anything to do with writing. Likewise, I have struggled with Math, Algebra, or anything to do with equations. So obviously, I decided to become a computer programmer and never considered a career in writing or journalism.

Growing up in the Bay Area, computers and tech almost permeate the very air we breath.
It's interesting because, the more I worked with computers, the better my typing speed and skills became. When I learned to type, the world of blogging and writing had opened up, and the seduction of the Internet discussion forums were just too strong for me. I found myself writing on any and all topics.

Being a huge 49ers fan and sports fan in general, I can't help but throw my hat in the web ring.

I love forming an idea, and then putting it into words. Its strategic, tactical, challenging, and fun.

Thank you for reading my articles. Although I don't have a press pass and therefore can't provide a ton of new information, my hope is that I can help you see from a different angle, or in a different light; my goal is to get my readers to think differently.

    I have to say though, running Gore 7 times in the game doesn't make for much of a smashmouth style. More like short, ineffective passing game...
