⇥ About the Accidental Businessman

The Accidental Businessman is Marco Tabini’s personal website. Its contents do not necessarily represent the views of Marco Tabini & Associates, Inc. or Blue Parabola, LLC.

This website has gone through a number of different incarnations over the last few years—it’s my personal playground and I do like to shake things up every now and then, usually with little regards to what was already on the site. Thus, if you happen to go back in the archive, posts will start to look weirder and weirder… you’ve been warned.

About Marco

I am the co-founder, with Arbi Arzoumani, of php|architect, the world’s largest PHP magazine in the English language, currently distributed in over 145 countries. I also co-founded, with Keith Casey, Blue Parabola, LLC, a consulting firm that specializes in information architecture, code and security auditing, large-scale deployments and optimization.

I write fairly often on a number of subject, ranging from PHP and OSS to the world of Apple and Macs (which is usually published in Macworld).

Speaking Engagements

I don’t speak at events and conferences as often as I used to, but I still enjoy the occasional talk. For speaking engagement, please check the Speaking page.

Consulting

Blue Parabola offers a narrow range of high-quality consulting services built around PHP and open-source. For more information, see the Consulting page.

Contact Information

My inbox receives around 500 emails a day—of which perhaps 100 actually demand my attention. I try to answer as many as I can, but I am notoriously bad at it.

You can reach me at marcot@tabini.ca. If I don’t reply, I don’t mind a reminder or two, but you may have better luck trying to get in touch to me through MTA’s offices or by going through php|architect’s customer support pages.

A Note About This Site’s Theme

As I mentioned above, this site has gone through a redesign or three. The current theme is completely custom developed and inspired in part by John Gruber’s Daring Fireball, a site that I admire even though (or perhaps because) I am almost never in agreement with its author.

The site uses the GrauBlau font for its headings.
