TRIVIA:
— I once killed a possum out of self-defense. The little bastard was coming after me.
— I spoke my first curse words at age 7. It felt good. It felt right.
— The more I learn, the more I like Free Open Source Software (Linux, GNU). I have been using Linux full-time since 2006 and only wish I had made the move earlier.
— I’m far too impatient with objects. I want them to work, and when they don’t, I want to be able to fix them.
— I like looking at naked pretty people. So sue me.
— I’m a proud and positive atheist.
— I’m rarely serious.
— I honestly believe if you’re not going to do it right, then pay someone who can.
— I love opera music, play too much chess, hate mean people, think stupidity should be painful, and that smart is sexy.
