elcome! My name is Elam Birnbaum
and this is my homepage!
ell, where to begin... You may have noticed my quite
unique name. Click here to learn more about its
origin, how I happened to get it, and a place for other Elams out there
to get in touch with me.
live in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York
City. In fact, I have lived in New York City for almost all of my 25 years.
I was born here, went to grammar and high school here (The
Calhoun School), and went to college and grad school here (Columbia University). I am a full-blooded
New Yorker and wouldn't dream of living anywhere else!
currently work for a small startup Internet/Computer
Graphics company called pixel Generation.
Three friends of mine from college (Sebastian
Ruta, Vincent Liggio, and
John Oh) started this company up in 1995 and I came aboard in 1996. My résumé is available for perusal. Check
out pixel Generation's web site to
see what we do. Sebastian and Vincent also run Micro
Madness, a computer reseller. They can get you great prices on computers
and peripherals and provide consulting services as well. They specialize
in Silicon Graphics systems. If you want
to buy a single computer or an entire office load of stuff from knowledgeable
people who will give you great advice and won't treat you like another number,
then don't look any further!
nough of the advertisements and on with my life! I have
a wonderful Mom (Zmira) and a cool Dad (Elisha), and a great sister (Stav).
We used to have the most beautiful yellow labrador you have ever seen named
Sirius, but he died of cancer in 1995. We miss him so much and think of
him all the time as evidenced by The Sirius
Page.. This page is basically a gallery of pictures of him at different
times in his life. It is a must see for anyone who loves labradors.
here are many things which interest me including; building
with Lego®, wood, paper, metal, and other
materials, playing Warlords
II; a wargame I play over the Internet with people all over the world,
medieval weaponry, fiction reading and writing, drawing, clay sculpture,
softball, and squash. I hardly can find time for all of these, so they lay
dormant until the urge to do something in that area wells up inside of me.
