About me:

"If I die doing something stupid, someone at my funeral should point out all the stupid things I survived."

Currently a contract code monkey, I've done a lot of odd things with my life--from managing retail establishments to making a movie--and what I have to show for it is...not easy to explain. Minimal material goods, no "real" family, just a pensive sort of happiness, an understanding of joy and the pain it sometimes costs.



Next scheduled Bible study: Luke 8, using Rick Warren's Chapter Summary Method.

I am known variously around the Internet as DesiredFX (the name of my video graphics company), DFX, TransplantedEagleFan, and TEF.

Oh, and if you can't find the answer to the Seagull Soup riddle, here's my version (click and sweep to read):

Some years ago, the guy was a ship's officer involved in a shipwreck in which many of the passengers died. In order to survive, they were forced to eat "seagull soup."

There weren't enough seagulls to make soup for everyone, so the officers of the ship decided they would supplement the soup with a soup made from the bodies of the passengers who had died. Nobody knew about this plan but the group of officers, and no one was told what they were being served...it was just called "seagull soup," and even the ship's officers didn't know which batch their servings came from.

Well, after they were rescued, the man in the story just can't live with not knowing whether he was a cannibal, so he goes to a restaurant that serves seagull soup and orders some.

It tastes nothing like what he had on the island, so he freaks out.
