Curmudgeon and grouchy old man. Get the hell off my lawn you damn kids!

Designer and developer, server side Java, enterprise flavor. Prior to this gig I did a decade and a half working on embedded systems (SCADA, home automation, casino gaming)

Rider, not a biker. Currently dual-sport and off-road rider. ~150K miles on bikes of various flavors. Raced motocross 13 years, 3 years pro class. Rides at the moment: R1200GS Adventure, 950SE, XR650R. I ride all year 'round/in all weather, as long as there isn't snow or ice on the roads.

Submarine sonar technician, once upon a time. Daniel Webster (gold) SSBN626. Was a "SPACE tech", Special Purpose ACoustic Equiment maintenance. Worked on 21 different types of sonars, everything from primary/navigational to fathometers.

Great fan of science, particularly physics at all scales. I want to have Lawrence Krauss' baby. Feynman is a god.

Strong atheist. It goes with being a strong skeptic. I reasoned my way out of believing in gods when I was in 6th grade but it wasn't until I was a teen that I realized other people didn't believe either. I was in catholic school at the time of my enlightenment so that made 6th, 7th and 8th grades reasonably unpleasant, which is why I spit on nuns to this day.

Sexually ambivalent. I don't care where it's coming from or where it's going, just long as I'm getting my fair share.

General purpose weirdo with no discernible sense of humour. I had my funny bone forcibly removed by catholic nuns back in 1967 and have been searching for it ever since.

Politically incorrect. I would never google "santorum" for instance.
