Introduction I was born in Nampa, Idaho. I attended Nampa High School, class of 1985. I am a professional musician and an all-around information technology geek. I am happily married since 01/01/01. This blog is my daily (well, mostly daily) place to rant on the subjects I find most interesting. That's usually progressive politics, atheist / secular / humanist philosophy, anti-war activism, drug policy reform, strange and odd world events, popular culture, music, television, sports, comedy, and anything else that piques my curiosity.
