Who do I think I am?

Born and Raised in the Beautiful NorthWest.  I am inching pretty close to Forty, and can now feel it coming in my bones.

I am a Computer guy by trade, and have spent most of the last 15 years teaching people how to use Microsoft Office Products, as well as designing solutions for them.  I have recently taken a far more active interest in Open Source software, and have hauled off and installed Ubuntu as my operating system.

I am big into reading, very eclectic tastes, but mostly Sci-Fi, History, Philosophy.  I just wish I had more time.

I am a Staff Seargent in the Army Reserves, which keeps me fit.  I have to say that being in the reserves has been a great experience, I have learned a lot, gained a very deep appreciation for what we have here in the US, and have picked up some pretty cool skills.  I deployed to Afghanistan in 2004, and feel fortunate to have done so.

I will unfortunately miss my 10th Anniversary, not the first anniversary spent away from home on behalf of the Army, and probably not the last.  I think I need to talk to them about the way they are scheduling these wars and things.
