What can someone say about Brad, except…this cat is all over the place.His interests seem to vary on Mixx and that’s what makes him one of the most well rounded Super Mixxers around. From celebrity gossip to Vaginas with teeth you can find Brad0022 almost anywhere on Mixx.com.  So let’s find out a little more about Brad, and what makes him tick…

Where are you from?
In Montgomery, Ala. and currently reside. Yes that Montgomery. The one where Luther Leonidas Hill, M. D. was the first surgeon to successfully suture the human heart in 1902. And some various other historic events  such as the DC Snipers, they tried to rob a liquor store here. Oh yea Civil Rights, Wright Brothers, Civil War, etc.

I have a love/hate relationship with this city.

What do you do for a living?
I work at a design agency and do some freelance design.

How did you choose your Mixx handle?
No profound answer just a lazy whatever name. I couldnt really think of a good creative name so I just used this. Yea that’s lame but Im not as creative with words as I am with visual arts.

What are your interests?
Finding good music new and old, going to shows (recently saw and hung out with Ninja Sonik, MC Chris, Starf***r, etc.), arts, graphic design, learning about history, hiking and camping (recently backpacked a few miles at Cohutta National Wilderness in North Central Georgia), photography (just a hobby now, still learning, using a Sony Alpha 100), hanging out with good friends, movies, TV (Rescue Me, Delocated, etc.).  Reading tech blogs, listening to some tech podcast. Gotta keep up. Listening music podcast mostly Gargepunk.com podcast and KEXP.org net radio to keep up with music. Screwing around with my Acer Aspire One, just replaced the SSD with a hard drive, installed a WiFi card and put OS X on it. Now its useful. Sorry Linux fans, I gave it a try.

What is in “YOUR MIXX”?
I wont front here. I do not use my Mixx page much at all. I simply use Mixx via my email. I subscribe to great Mixxers and sift through the Mixx shares, then find the ones that peak my interest, catch my attention or make me laugh. I guess email is my main internet app so I do the same for my Posterous blog post. I try to bypass the website and just check other users post via my email. Then go to the site to respond. I’m knee deep in email. I do the same for twitter and other blogs. I use apps so I stay away from the main sites.

Who do you idolize?

I don’t necessarily idolize anyone but look up and admire it would be my best friend Bryan Carter. He has shown me how to be better designer, person, be more responsible. Spencer Moody, lead singer for the Murder City Devils (also Dead Low Tide, John and Spencer Booze Explosion). Amazing voice and cool guy.

What do you like most about Mixx.com?
There are lot of things. No one element or feature the talk about. I love the close knit community feeling. You can get to know the members more easily. Nice friendly user base. Also I love the constant evolution and updating. The creators and staff are very in tune with the users’ needs and take pride in the Mixx. It’s not just some money making scheme of a social site. You never feel stuck with how Mixx currently looks, acts or feels. If there are issues or features that could be fixed or added, they are on top of it quickly for most needs.

Also there is always great content and variety of it. Case in point, I was laid off earlier this year and I found such great info about tips and info for laid off individuals that I would have never found otherwise. Obviously you cannot read every blog, news report, listen to very podcast so Mixx helps a whole lot.

Any advice for new Mixxers?
When I first started was a little overwhelmed. I was kinda slow at first but I read about Mixx and how to use it. If you need to, use the links at the bottom of the page in blue. Take the Tour, check out the Mixx Lounge to follow the top Mixxers. Message them with questions and concerns. They wont bite. I will give you a shortcut, follow McCaffertyHimself,  kat136, SilentJay74, katharinec, BennyGreenberg and cGt2099.

Mixx what you are interested in and also mix it up with some variety. Also, please don’t submit the same thing others have submitted already. Mixx sometimes doesn’t catch it but when it does, share their submission.
