Bio
I was born on a cold evening in Brooklyn, NY. Don't think too much about that town except to say that a good chunk of my family lives there. Shortly thereafter, I moved to Philadelphia, PA. That's where I call home. Now, I hold out in the Central Florida area hoping against all hope that we'll get a decent hockey team close to home (Tampa doesn't count, it's a heck of a drive from where I am. I lived a lot of other places, but those are probably the most important. My main compulsion since childhood is video games. I was raised on the Intellivision, the Atari 2600, and on the Commodore 64. I wish I was born in the UK so I could've caught the BBC Micros and stuff. The years of the bedroom programmers interest me greatly. Many a classic was created out of the garage. When I'm not watching hockey, cricket, F1, or sitting here typing from the console, you'll find me toiling behind my 8" CAT (it's a telescope) trying to find rather uninteresting faint fuzzies (It's a labor of love). Board games round out the list of my compulsions.

I'm a computer programmer by profession, a sales engineer by trade, but an historian at heart. It's a weird mix of stuff to be, but here I am.

Supporting me in my endeavours are my family. I've a wife and 2 children. My wife hails from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and brought with her my first born (just not to me) child, Carolline. I've also had a son with her, Nicholas. They're my pride and joy. It makes live just a little more precious to raise little ones such as these.

In case you're interested, Here's the Clear Sky Clock for Orlando. It let's me know when it's ok to come outside and see the shineys.
