About Me

In the 80's I began to discover my love for electronics as a joy and hobby even before then I used to take apart toys of all sorts and put them back together in different configurations. I used to collect tape recorders, old stereos and speakers, antennas, boom boxes, cd-players, game consoles. I would create different types of sound recordings and making effects with microphones and recoding tools. I made lots of Mix Tapes back when walkman-like cassette players were the only PMDs (Portable Media Devices). We had walkman radio tape decks the size of a 3.5" hard drives and they weighed almost as much, with batteries and accessories included, and of course the fanny pack to carry it all (oh yeah the Nerd is showing now). Those who were lucky had really nice mini-cassette recorders and the setup for recording anywhere, anytime. Cameras in those days required lots and lots of film; and film cost money. Today the kids complain about the prices of memory sticks, and flash cards, which can hold thousands of high quality pictures.

Keeping up with the technology while developing a plan to build my childhood dream, I focused on working as much as possible while still learning whenever it was allowed. Coming from a sorted childhood and an angry formative period I struck out on my own to fulfill my dreams, ha, well G_d always has other plans. I had already made choices that required him to arrange another chance for me to make the right decisions later down the road. For probably the next 8 or 9 years of my life I continued to choose haphazardly. Oh he opened my eyes more than a couple times during those years but being a ‘Thomas' and all, I had to test the validity of all theories to renounce the majority rule.
Well like the good book says; “ask and ye shall receive”, being the smart kid I thought I was, I said, “G_d, I want to Know”! “What do you want to know”? He Said.
I replied “I want to know the answer to life and, and, and, well, everything” …. Well there’s where the fun begins and you know what he is still teaching me today. Every face I see and every soul I meet G_d teaches me something new about Him, about us, about the world we live in. The things I have seen and the things I have done are all a part of who I am and needs to remain as a part of who I am, but the negative emotion and the power of oppression from any thing in my life, is betrayed it’s desire because the ‘Grace of our Lord and Savior the Messiah, Yeshuah. His blood and sacrifice protects me from the bondage of the old life.

I really enjoy the creative and analytical challenges of problem solving in today's software technology, as well as the opportunity it offers me to design interfaces with intuitive thought, and creative ideas. I have delved deep into my creative conception as much as my logical problem solving skills. I joined a computer club in middle school and began to develop a love for technology and gadgets. I was plotting Plot and H-Plot graphics back in the day of exchanging floppies every few minutes to load and save. ( Apple IIe. I still have one not sure if it works though). I have been drawing since I was old enough to hold a crayon and I have a love for all of the Arts.

Other Things I enjoy include; Bible Study, Martial Arts, Rock Climbing, Hiking, Canoeing (Sailing : one day), Camping, Pow-wows, Reading, Theatre, Opera (and not the browser), Drawing, Music, Writing, Games, Movies, and Adventure.

I currently work for myself doing freelance IT Work I am in the process of setting up my business as an LLC and building a new website. Please check it out and let me know what you think Dimensia Productions at http://dimensia.dnsdojo.com

I have always wanted to travel but never had the ability. Hopefully one day I will get to see many places I want to go, Japan, China, Tibet, The Phillipines(beaches), Paris, Venice, Rome, London, way too many to keep going.If we can have a "Good Con-Va-Sation" then we will get along.
You will find I have a very strange character and enjoy a diverse collection of friends. I am not a clique-y kind of person i usually get along with somebody from most crowds.

WHAT RELIGION BESTS SUITS YOU?"
True Christian
You are humble, gracious, kind and extremely Christ-like. You believe in the bible as your law, but read it in its original language. Perhaps you're not a scholar, but you're not an armature either. You normally don't feel church is acceptable for your form of worship, and if anyone believes different from you, you might try to learn something from them.
