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 University in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Dirk now works as a web developer in Milwaukee programming mostly in C#, Javascript, T-SQL and the occasional regular expression. For design he likes to utilize as much standard CSS (positioning and styles) as possible. In his spare time Dirk brews beer, plays guitar, reads, listens to NPR, works on his house, and sleeps on quiet beaches.
