In June 2013, the DIY.org makers Forte, Falcon Builder, Stalk Jimbo, Apple Turnip, Agent GP, and Ms Mustache formed the DIY Times--a website designed to bring you interesting articles and behind-the-scenes information about DIY.org. This awesome group of makers brings the DIY Times site to life. We hope you enjoy the site as much as we do!
Meet the Crew!
Agent GP
Editor/Graphic Designer
I enjoy drawing cartoons, making videos, playing the ukulele, working on DIY Times, and reading. I am a Christian filmmaker and hope to pursue it as a full time career. I have been home teached all my life. Haha. I mean homeschooled. My close friends call me "Twitchy" when I get spastic, which can happen if I have too much sugar. I don't own a video game console, because if I did I would become majorly addicted. :)
Apple Turnip
Secretary
I do lot o' stuff here at the DIY Times! I help with the website. I deal with the "press", sometimes I even gather scoops for the paper! My hobbies are juggling/poi, writing novels, making, running, camping, playing guitar and piano, and playing with my brother Damian Pineouse. I am a righty, a mixture of Greek and Polish heritage, and I have brown sectoral hematiphosis in both of my blue eyes. I also have a beta thalamic trait.
Evil Ladybug
Creative Writer/
Hey, I'm Evil Ladybug. I'm the main writer for the fun page and usually write tutorials, along with some others. I'm the newest member as of August 2013, and I'm really grateful to work here. When I'm not writing here, I can usually be found drawing, reading, playing the piano, making, or listening to music... or maybe looking for candy. I love classic rock, and I am a proper Whovian. If I ever do grow up, I would probably want to be a writer or artist (whether that be art, music, etc.). That's about all!
Forte
Boss/Comic Artist/Main Webcast Anchor
Helloo, I'm Forte. I'm the boss and creator of the crazy circus, right from the start. I'm a super nerd, actor, and musician. If you need any scientific help in any way, contact me! I have been in one short film, one play, and another play that hasn't started yet. I'm also a ridiculous bookworm. You'll often find me reading a book. I'm a grade 9 student, High School! My likes and loves: I love the Ranger's Apprentice book series, I adore the YouTube channel Vsauce, and I obsess over anything related to NASA, space, or space exploration.
I am often heard saying something in my very own language: Nerd.
My favourite books: The Rangers Apprentice Series, What If The Earth Had Two Moons (and 9 other astrophysics questions), My science textbook...
Umm, anything else? No, I don't think so.
Cheers,
-Forte :D

Stalk Jimbo
Social Networks Manager/Reporter/Bits Of Everything
Hey folks! I've been in The DIY Times since the beginning but still don't really have a defined role, hence that kind of weird description! Among my many roles, there's managing our Google + Page (we have over 7000 views :O), writing some articles and I might be involved in many other things in a near future!
Want to know more about me? I'm really interested in design related things and I would like to work as a web and/or graphic designer, I also enjoy drawing (sometimes digitally), reading, film making and photography! I practice many sports such as fencing (competitively), skiing, sailing and skateboarding! My main language is French but I -obviously- speak English and I'm learning Spanish!
I guess that's all there is to know?! :)

Ms Mustache
Writer/Reporter
Hey guys! My name on DIY is Ms Mustache but my real name is Sinead. I'm a gymnast, I play soccer, I skate board, I'm competitive in basketball and I love surfing. I'm 11, turning 12 on Jan 24th. I love chocolate, mustaches, dairy, technology, DIY, apples, and sugar stuff like Slurpees. I live with my mum and my two younger sisters in Jakarta, Indonesia, unlike a lot of you. I have two fat cats Sophie and Disco. Sophie is super pretty and Disco is super crazy and an annoying carpet scratching wacko. I'm half Canadian and half Indonesian, but if you go back far to my great-grand parents I'm 3/16 British, 3/16 Scottish, 2/16 Polish and 8/16 Balinese (Island in Indonesia).
I love skate-boarding and when I write skate I usually write it sk8. Ever Sunday I go to Taman Mini (it means Mini Park in Indonesia) and we go to the sk8 park. It's super fun and we go for about 2-3 hours so if we get tired we just chill out for a bit, resting in the sk8 bowl. I can Ollie (usually), do the quarter pipe, and big ramps.
I love writing and that's why I'm here. But some things I don't like are waiting, sitting for long times, apples, neat handwriting, crashing while sk8ing, green peppers and getting hit, smashed and tumbled to death by huge waves while surfing.
When I grow up I wish to be a doctor of some sorts. I want to eat a croissant in Paris and eat lasagna in Italy. I want to run a triathlon and play real life monopoly. See ya later alligators and get ready to read some awesome scoops on the DIY Times.
