“You’d love to hear the scoop about me, right? Of course you do, don’t be ridiculous!
Okay, Here’s what you need to know
I’m a classic TV fan, and I absolutely love WKRP in Cincinnati, Adam-12, Dragnet, and of course game shows, but my real interest is Cyberspace. I work for the State of Missouri in the Computer Information Systems field (7/21/01). In my sp…are time, I am Nyx’s system administrator, and an all around Unix geek I am a news junkie. I follow all the major trades in various industries ranging from Computers to Supermarkets (I read somewhere around 45 or so different trade publications in various fields). I’m also very active in politics, and have helped defeat tax increases .
Generally speaking, if I don’t know something Ill find out. As Matt Ottinger once stated on his page, everyone should be an expert at something. I’m not an expert by any means, but Ill sure try. So people have told me, I’m a bit intense at times. That’s because I’m passionate about what I do. (Once you’ve been around me a while, you’ll understand this!)”
