Well, I realize that some of you out there may be looking for general information about me. You may have met me on the Net and want to find out if I really exist. You may have met me in person and want to know if I really am on the Web. You may be a friend checking this out to see if I said anything about you. You may be a homicidal maniac trying to more fully understand who I am before you kill me. You may be a cop trying to bust me for a crime I didn't commit. You may be a fan trying to gain knowledge of me to impress other people. Or you might just be bored. In any case, I don't care. If you're willing to read this drivel then I'm willing to write it, it's your nickel.

For those of you who want the shortest possible version of who I am, here is my Geek Code:

If THIS doesn't tell you something, nothing will!

I have done many things in my life to make a living, including building homebuilt airplane parts, working as a cleanroom technician, doing computer training, and even retail sales (ugh.) I think I have finally found my niche as a computer tech, including Internet tech support and administration, PC technical support and writing documentation. I'll spare you my resume, but basically I'm a computer geek.

Well, I like a lot of things. First and foremost, I love Christ. Caffeine is the next thing that comes to mind. I like Monty Python. I like Mystery Science Theater 3000. I like tinkering with things and doing cool stuff with the pieces. I like anything having to do with Marvin Martian, and have a growing collection of Marvin stuff. I like cool t-shirts. I have a deep, burning, intense, flesh-eating hatred for Georgia Tech, my ex-alma mater (I disowned them.) I dislike the narrow-minded, ivory tower academic mentality. I liked Calculus 4 so much I took it several times. I like to chase tornadoes. I like to watch meteors. I dislike getting hit by meteorites. I like to have meaningful discussions with interesting people. I love Jesus Christ and owe all the good things in my life to Him and His blessings. I intensely dislike seeing people use self-serving religion to justify selfish and violent hatred, such as Operation Rescue, the Ku Klux Klan, the Nation of Islam and the IRA do. I intensely hate bureaucracy and politicians. I dislike people who think they can change the system with violence. I like libertarianism but dislike the fact the general public are too stupid and short-sighted to even care what it is. I like when people respect other's beliefs, but dislike when people just assume that because I am a Christian I am supposed to be a conservative bigoted anti-choice condemning crusading redneck zealot who thinks everything around me is evil... which is most definitely NOT like me. (But I do hope they see that Christianity has nothing to do with the TV version.) I dislike stupid talk shows and soap operas. I like M*A*S*H. I like warplanes, but I hate what they are designed to do. I like to look up at the marvels of the universe and the sky in general. I dislike the Big Bang Theory and the notion that we are capable of knowing for sure just how it all began. I believe in both creation and Evolution and dislike that many people just can't comprehend that science and God's Word complement each other. I really like the number 42. I like Star Wars and Star Trek. I like Robin Williams and Harrison Ford movies. I like to chase bad weather just out of fascination and for fun. I hate getting caught in a thunderstorm when I want to go fly the plane. I like watching the idiots on the golf course across the street play in a lightning storm. I like new technology. I don't know whether I love or hate Unix. I like Macintoshes most of the time. I dislike Microsoft much of the time. I downright hate trial lawyers and what they've done to society. I love Orwell's 1984. I like to read, even though I rarely have enough time anymore. I like Oriental food, malted milk balls, sushi, Brussels sprouts and beef stroganoff. I dislike hot dogs, coffee, diet sodas, peas, and spinach. I like being able to stay up late and sleep in the next day. I enjoy babbling on about this, that, and the other. Any questions?

First and Foremost, Jesus Christ, for giving us all hope and help when nothing else can.

Ruchelle Owens, for strengthening my faith and being an extremely devoted and loving friend, as well as constantly reassuring me that I really am every bit as psycho as I think I am.

Chris Giddens, make that the Reverend Goob, for showing me how fun Christianity is supposed to be, and being a friend through some mighty strange and rough times.

Rev. Billy Graham, for sharing the true joy of Christ to the world with the utmost integrity, love, and honesty.

Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., not for showing people "by any means necessary", but by living the ONLY means necessary.
My mom, Linda Whaley, for never pushing me too hard and being supportive when I didn't meet my own expectations.
George Orwell, for 1984 and Animal Farm.
My Grandma and Granddad Brokaw, just for being who they are.
Rick Wakeman - Just a really cool Christian guy!!!
Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett, for having the courage to follow the vision.
Burt Rutan, Dr. Paul MacCready, and Steve Roberts, for pushing the envelope.
