Born and raised in East Vancouver, Codi’s jaded sense of irony developed earlier than most. His penchant for black coffee and obscure music allowed him to seamlessly blend into the unwashed basement dwelling art-commune that is most of the eastside. While he was down there, he figured he might as well learn to write code. Between attending raves and insisting on writing in all lower case, (something about capital letters being “over-produced”) Codi became a genius in making pretty websites function pretty well perfect. Scratch that — let’s go with perfect. Last year, Codi became a hundredaire via his online magazine, www.chalkedup.com, where he discusses the intricacies of the electronic keyboard and things to do other than watch television. Codi also enjoys spending time with his beard and Rubenesque aunt.
