First of all, I've gotten myself a new website: Dennypoo.com .
I am a full-time musician (in a band called DATM , sponsored by Jägermeister !) and part-time web-developer, which means I build websites. A by-product of my web design studies was an interest in video game programming, which I now have more time to explore. I read a lot of books (mostly non-fiction) and I am always learning new music, much of which I will never perform with the band, DATM , or in my solo act. It might be some classical piece or an obscure oldie. I just learn it for fun.
There are a few things that I am good at. (Things like, say, screwing up. At that, I am the master.) Some people think I am funny, but most people have no clue about the dark beast that lies just under the surface, ready to burst out unexpectedly at a moment's notice. Just kidding. I get along with most people. Maybe I'll get along with you too.
I really enjoy homonymous word play jokes. Double entendre is nice too, but I'm fascinated by the rare triple entendre, the only example I can think of is "We took some pictures of the native girls, but they weren't developed."~Groucho Marx
Other than the obvious stuff: learning new music, writing songs, performing with the band, repairing guitars, guitar instruction, playing solo and junk...I also am totally into: video gaming, video game history, video game programming [yes, I've made a few little games], marine biology, shark conservation, building things with wood, gardening, cooking [yeah , a little] and other stuff.
If you would like to download my games, you may do so here:
What many people never know about me is my interest in the "UFO problem" [interpret that phrase however you like]. I own what is likely the largest private collection of books on the subject in the area. One thing I've never even told any friends is the fact that I have even looked into a few cases involving local witnesses and corresponded with investigators from MUFON [Mutual UFO Network, the largest civilian research organization in the country] and some well known researchers who have been on many tv programs about the subject.
By a weird coincidence, a book I ordered from Amazon [used] recently was actually from the personal library of a well known UFO researcher [Philip J. Klass, debunker] who passed away last year. [His personalized gold label is inside the jacket.] How it ended up at my door may forever be a mystery...a Google Maps search of the label address turned up a building a few blocks away from the Pentagon, btw. (Turns out it was just the UFO Skeptic's Newsletter Headquarters.)
Your natural reaction to the UFO topic may be to laugh or whatever, but if your only exposure to the subject has been from the mass media, like tv, I can't say I blame you. I'm not some wild-eyed "true believer". In fact, I actually do not support the extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) as the answer to the UFO question.
The truth is, when you get into some of the primary sources of info, you start to realize why the topic still represents a real problem. Even now, 38 years after the University of Colorado study and Condon Report helped the Air Force out of [public] UFO investigation, by basically saying nothing of scientific value would be obtained by further study of UFOs. It's a problem that I say needs solving...if it even can be solved...and I think it can be.
If you would like to learn about the topic, I would recommend books by Jacques Vallee, Richard M. Dolan or maybe John A. Keel. If you are new to the topic and want to know what all the fuss is, without a long read, get UFO Briefing Document, by Don Berliner [it's a book - $6.99 for the paperback]...now. Anyway, enough random info for now. Try my pics or blogs or something...or my website: Dennypoo.com !!!!!
