I am Zang. My full name is James Gordon Nazaroff, but that sounds rather pretentious, so I usually just go by Jamie. Others obviously know me as Zang.How does one go about describing themselves? I could take the humourous, self-depricating route. Make you laugh at my own expense. It would be hard to get across the things I want to say in humourous fashion.
James Gordon Nazaroff doesn’t even sound like my name. I know it is, and I’ve a certain familiarity with it, but the things I’ve done in my life don’t seem to attach themselves to the moniker. Who am I then? I can’t quite answer that. I think that’s something that I’ve been given a lifetime to figure out. What am I here for? There are times I feel like I’m “James of Nazaroff“, fated for something greater, something pure and beautiful. But then, sometimes I feel I am the most average, most unspectacular human being on the planet. I have nothing to be envious of. I’ve got some talent, yet it doesn’t mean two licks to me. I want to be loved and I want to be lusted after.
So other than probably boggle you you with my babble, I’ve likely done little to help you understand who I am. This website will probably only stand to confuse you more.

Updates
In the last year:
1) I’ve gotten married to the beautiful Melissa. We were married February 14th, 2009 at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto.
2) I’ve been an excellent student. No seriously. This last semester (3 of 4), I got A+ in 4 out of 5 classes.
3) I’ve realized my life is pretty damn good as it is. I’ve got a wife who I love with all my heart, and I’ve got a definite career path set in something I really love doing. What more is there to ask for?

I’m a student (again).
For the first time in 16 years, I’m back in school. After one day, I love it. But then, my first two classes were food related. Computers and Math will likely bore me to tears.
I’m thinking maybe the site is due for a visual update, but I’m not sure what yet.

Security is key.
More changes here. Mostly background stuff, and a few compliance fixes. You’ll be hard pressed to find anything on this site that doesn’t validate as proper XHTML 1.1/CSS.
As well, I’ve added ATOM feeds alongside the RSS feeds. See the buttons at the bottom?
A lot of the backend code has been updated as well, streamlining it and making it far more secure.
I’ve added a few images and an MP3 to the mix as well. I’ll be adding a few more things, soon.

Now, with added feeds!
That’s right, now you can get your usual Zang Tao-y goodness fortified with vitamin RSS!
I’ve coded RSS generators for the News, About Me, Music, Art and Photo pages. The Music feed complies with iTunes by including the proprietary <itunes:xxxx> tags, meaning it can be added to iTunes as a podcast by clicking Advanced -> Subscribe to Podcast and entering the feed address there. Links to the XML for each section can be found at the bottom of the related pages. I may in the future add a page listing all the feeds.
Other than that, I will be adding new photos and photo categories, as well as doing a bunch of work on the admin side of things.
