Welcome!!!
Welcome! My name is Josh Curren. I am a junior at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania. I am a double major in Computer Science and Theatre Design. I know, you may be thinking that is a strange combination of majors. But, today computers have snuck their way into almost every aspect of life and theatre is not immune to that. Infact, theatre has welcomed technology with open arms. Technology is making it easier for theatres to produce the near impossible. One area of theatre that technology has vastly improved is lighting. Theatre lighting is controlled by sophisticated computer systems and many of the lighting fixtures have build in 'computers' that allow them to move, change color, and produce spectacular effects.
I own a (very) small company called JA Curren Web Design. At JAC Web we can build any size website or web application. We can design, build, and program just about anything for the web. We also offer hosting, domain names, and email. Check out the Website Design page for more information. You can also view some of my web projects on the Portfolio page.
About Me
I grew up on a farm in a Gillett, Pennsylvania which is a very rural area
near Elmira, New York. I am the oldest of three. I have a brother,
Zach, and a sister, Emilie. My dad, Todd, owns a RV dealership in Pine
City, New York and my mom, Pam, is the building secretary at Mosherville
Elementary School. 
I
graduated from Troy Senior High School in June 2008 (we had graduation
on Friday the 13th).
Since the summer of 2003 (the year my dad bought the RV dealership) I
have worked there doing various tasks. During the fall of 2007 I started
working
at Cantroair Communications which owns four radio stations in Troy, PA.
I started my work at the radio station as a 'Service Learning' student
(pretty much an intern). I started with some basic uploading of commercials
and programming. I quickly started to run the board during high school 
football games and NASCAR races. Eventually I started to record weather
announcements which 
led to me occasionally being on air.
In the fall of 2008 I attended Albright College in Reading, PA. I really enjoyed Albright and the faculty there were amazing. I learned a lot and finshed the year with a 3.75 overal GPA, but I quickly learned that a private was extreemly expensive! Due to the high cost, long drive from home, and Reading's increasing crime rate I decided to transfer to Bloomsburg University.
Transfering to Bloomsburg turned out to be a great idea. I can now walk downtown without having to keep looking over my shoulder. At Bloomsburg I learned that you really do learn more in small classes like at Albright. Most of the faculty at Bloomsburg are just as great as the Albirght faculty, but have many more students and cannot teach as effectivly as the faculty at Albright. Bloomsburg also has some professors that are truly horrible at what they do, but because of the larger size of the departments they do not get noticed by the department chairpersons or administartion. But it is what it is.
More to come later...
