James's Blurbs |
About me:
Live Southeast of Portland, OR about 35 miles. I've lived in Oregon a long time. I am geeky and computer software internals (hardware drivers, mostly) are the core of my employment. I lean toward more socialized government, but it's okay if you don't. I'm pretty open-minded.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Good thoughtful people for friendship.
