About Me
Born in the Tropics, grown in the Pacific Northwest.
I am adaptable, autodidactic, apophenic.
A life-long traveler, forever most at home with new environments and fresh experiences.
My hobbies include archery, playing the Double Bass & Classical Guitar, and the board
game Go.
My relationship with computer technology began in the early 1990's with the Apple IIe,
followed
closely by the Apple IIgs. I was first introduced to the World Wide Web in 1994 and
immediately fell in love with the power and potential that computer technology
presented.
I spent my young adult life traveling the world and learning as much as I could about
everything I came into contact with, especially the mysterious things; nothing is more
engaging than a mystery.
Both my life spent traveling and my inter-cultural education have given me
a broad range of experience, as well as helping me to better understand the world around
me, and the people I share it with.
I seek tirelessly after knowledge & wisdom.
"Death has come in the pantry door: stands watching them, iron and patient, with a
look
that says 'try to tickle me."
~ Thomas Pynchon
