I have recently noted that my new computer doesn’t have a floppy drive. So what’s a man to do with all his old floppies? Well, he can make a model starship enterprise, a 5 1/2″ floppy disk quilt or a photo cube. I chose the former and with my assistant made the below beauties over my lengthy lunch break of a lean-cuisine and roundy’s apple juice.

Dirk Watkins was born in Door County. He studied computer science and art at Carroll College in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Dirk now works as a web application developer in Milwaukee programming mostly in c#, javascript, sql queries and the occasional actionscript. For design he likes to utilize as much css (positioning and styles) as possible. Dirk uses Dreamweaver, Visual Studio 2005, Flash and Photoshop daily and lots of other random programs frequently. In his spare time Dirk plays guitar, reads, listens to NPR, works on his house, and sleeps on quiet beaches.
