About Me

Well I suppose the most obvious part of me is that I'm a computer geek. What can I say? I grew up with computers so they come easy to me. At the same time, there is always something new technology-wise to spark new interest so computers never really get boring. I count myself lucky to be able to do one of my hobbies and get paid for it, and at this point I have to say it pays pretty well.

I do have several other interests including music, movies, books, and traveling. I haven't been able to do too much traveling until just the last year or so. Thanks to some recent job changes I've been able to go to both corners of the continental US, Orlando and Seattle and hope to soon visit Canada.

I also collect several things including my main interests of course. I have an extensive CD collection, an even more extensive mp3 collection, and an only slightly smaller collection of movies, mostly on DVD. The collection I am most committed to however that isn't quite as easy to grow is my gargoyle collection. You can see 2 of my gargoyles in my pics. All total I have somewhere around 25 gargoyles.

My other collection goes back to the geek in me. I have a fairly large collection of non-PC computers. Included in that collection are a pair of NeXT systems (one cube and one slab), a DECstation, an RS/6000, a pair of SPARCs (one IPC and one Server 5), an SGI O2, and several motorola 68080 and power PC based macintosh machines. I'm most proud of the NeXT machines. Not many people even know what a NeXT was let alone that there were more than one model. In addition, with the exception of the macs and the DECStation I have worked with each of these machines at some point in my life beginning all the way back in my junior year of high school with the NeXT cube. I sort of dream of one day setting all of these machines in a sort of museum running their original operating systems. Yes, each and every one of them still runs very nearly as if they were new and I do have the original operating system for all of them except the DECStation.
