Qui est ce type, Pete?
I'm in my sort-of-late 30s, while most of my local social circle are in their mid 20s. The more time I spend here, the more it seems clear that you have the kind of life you decide to create around you. I'm working at creating a pretty sweet life.
I have a higher-end nerd job; at other times I’ve lived a life of intrigue and danger ( heh ) but now, not-so-much. I do information architecture and experience design for people with lots of pennies, I also do some work for people with no pennies at all. I am ( slowly but surely ) working towards my doctorate. At the moment, my side thing is spreading the word like fire through digital spaces. If I am able to someday shift this from "side thing" to "main thing", that would be sweet. But I also wouldn't mind doing a few other things.
I'm doing many things in my life out of order, and for the most part do what I want, and what feels right... as opposed to maybe what most other people tell me I should do. So far, this is working out pretty well, though I do stumble now and then.
I live with intensity; "no power in the 'Verse can stop me."
Except me, that is.

The JunkyardI'm never content with whatever I'm working on. Aesthetically, anything I tweak is a direct reflection of my personality and tastes. Consider this profile - which I dub derkilicious - an ever changing work in progress. The original color schemes can be found here . The layout has some minor issues with IE, Safari, and Opera. Can I recommend Firefox or Flock ? Use Intercrap Explorer as a last resort.
