About Me

Not much to say. I'm a divorced father of two going back to school to get a degree so I can teach college level programming courses. Basically, all of my time is eaten up by school and being a fulltime dad, so, very little is going on. I'm occasionally witty and funny, but generally I'm just offensive.

You won't find any bandwidth sucking images, backgrounds, or anything else that is a throwback to the internet circa 1994... not a blink tag to be found around here. In fact, I pretty much only have an account here is as a link to a handful of friends who have made their home here. If you want more Jer_, you can find it via IM or on my LJ below...
