About me:

This is a placeholder. I'm more often here.

I get obsessed over Hollywood and their lame DRM models, lots of electronics products, and lately, chickens and guinea fowl (bug control and eggs). Most days the only non-electronic interactions I have are with Paul, my mom (who is our nearest neighbor, about 1/4 mile away), our dogs, and the poultry. We live in the middle of 112 acres on top of a drumlin (long, thin hills). Check the gallery on our website (link above) for pictures.

I am, for the most part, nerdy and socially awkward. Fortunately this is not hampering my career much, as I am lucky enough to work from home. I (usually) love my job, partly because of the job, and partly because I can take a lunch break during the day to walk the trails and check on the chickens.

..

    I know it’s not Sci Fi, but I just had to share this with someone who might appreciate it. I just picked up a 1902 copy of “The Little White Bird”, which is the first appearance of Peter Pan. Even Kirk is a Peter Pan fan.
    Right? LOL ;)
