About Me

I'm from Wilmington, NC originally. Moved here in '99 to finish at UNC .

I'm an atheist in the South. In a country where 50% of people have negative opinions of atheists, I would posit that the percentage of negative opinion is higher here. While I don't "preach", it does come up in conversation, such as "Where do you go to church?" Funny how I don't care.

I'm sarcastic and opinionated, but I always try to base my opinions on facts and am more than willing to change an opinion when new facts arise.

I love math, history, biology, physics, computers, cosmology, religious discussions, philosophical disussions (although if you mention specific philosophers, I'll just look dumb), and a wide array of subjects.

I also love my dog, Polly, my most recent addition...you can see her in the pics section.

It's Sunday.

Not much else to say about it. I like Sundays. Relaxing. I'm going to take my son to the Museum of Life and Science today. He loved going there last time. He's four and c...
