I live in Las Vegas, NV. I am a former musician – I received a B.M. in Music Performance on the oboe in 1999. I am now a PHP Developer.

I live with my cat Spot and my former roommate’s cat Salem. I spend my days at work, and my evenings doing side jobs or playing FPS games.

I am a sci-fi junkie. I like to snowboard and run. The end.

Getting with the times

I finally got around to hanging up my Christmas-present action figures.  You go ahead and mock me.  Just go ahead.  But you will mock no more when I tell you that in addition to Sam, Jack, and Daniel from Stargate, I got a Dexter action figure, complete with blood slide and forensics laminate.  You can [...]
