Interested in some trivia?
- other than our laptop, I’ve built from scratch every computer I’ve owned since 1995
- I am almost entirely a self-taught programmer, developer, and designer (I did have a Pascal class in high school, although after three weeks the teacher just let me do my own thing)
- I played my senior-year piano recital with a broken thumb. (pieces by Katchaturian and Rachmaninoff)
- I’ve met:
- Harold Ramis
- Gene Hackman
- Paul Sereno (famous palentologist, one of People Magazine’s 1997 “50 Most Beautiful People”)
- the pink power ranger
- I’ve held real dinosaur bones (not casts)
- The most I’ve travelled in a short period of time was 5,000 miles in 3 weeks
- The most I’ve travelled by foot was hiking 100 miles in 10 days at the Philmont Ranch in New Mexico
- I used to collect statistics on the amount of spam I received. Before I cried uncle and started using filters, I was getting about 2500 pieces of spam email every day.
