John's Interests
|
| General | Computers, Barbecue, Travel, People.
I have a new interest I'd like to share. There is a young lady in California, Gina Elise, who is helping out our Vets by posing for and selling pinup calendars and posters.
She visits veterans hospitals, and military bases and brings joy and dollars to the veteran's cause. Here's the link to her web site: http://www.pinupsforvets.com/ . Everyone should go and buy as much as you can afford, for a great cause! | | Music | Wide interest, just not into classical, jazz, blues, rap or country.
| | Movies | | | Television | West Wing, The Closer, Dr. Who, All Law & Order, House, and others.
| | Books | Too many to list. James Clavell, Ken Follett, Herman Wouk, J.K. Rowling and more.
| | Heroes | |
| Groups:

Great Lakes Airlines Employees

About me:
I'm a computer nerd (Network Engineer) turned Barbecue products purveyor.
I was 'into' computers long before IBM brought out their first PC, and before Gates bought MS-DOS from a friend for $1000. I designed and manufactured enhancements to various comnputers, and was very active in PC support on CompuServe, the primary predecessor to the internet.
I started and moderated the first world wide health related support group, initially on CompuServe, then on to the internet. This was The Cancer Forum.
Then came Barbecue.
A long time member of The Kansas City Barbecue Society, The California Barbecue Association (I live in Kansas; go figure), the National Barbecue Association, and other Barbecue related groups. I'm a Certified Master Judge, and hold a BS, MS and PhB from the Greasehouse University.
I'm an award winning competition barbecue cook, and I've competed and taught cooking and judging classes across the country.

Who I'd like to meet:
All kinds of people.
