Occupation Watch/Clock maker
Location United States
Introduction I'm a rather eclectic person. I am a computer geek, I run heavy equipment, I'm in the SCA and working on building a forge to learn smithing, I'm a recovering salesman, and latest I have become an apprentice watch and clock maker. I was victim of child abuse, and recovering quite nicely, thank you. I am a gamer, RPGs and such. I am a Linux user, though not rabid, and I do feel there's a number of good uses for Windows. Though I still think that the best way to accelerate a windows box is 32ft/sec squared. I'm an aspiring artist, with little skill as of yet. But hay, I gota suck at somethings. As for other suckage, I'm a poor typist and speller thanks to dyslexia. But at least I know how to use a spell checker. I was engaged to be married to a lovely lady, who decided to dump me because I never got mad at her... Seems she'd been so use to abusive relationships that she couldn't believe any man could be that understanding. She thought I was just bottling it up and would blow up later. Though to tell the truth, I never even realized she was trying to upset me at times. I'm not the most observant person when it comes to certain things.
Interests Old clocks and watches, computers, RPGs, SCA, MU*s, RC flying, EMS and Rescue, fixing anything I get my hands on, camping, gadets, sleight of hand, magick.
Favorite Movies Harvey, Hair, Patch Adams, Never Ending Story. Those are what spring to mind first.
Favorite Music Mozart, Motley Crew, Leahy, Fleetwood Mac, Dead can Dance, Jean Michel Jarre, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, and way too many more to list here. What I don't like is twangy whiny country and rappers bragging. I like rap and country, just not those versions.
Favorite Books Any book I learn something from, be it a skill, idea or just a new way to look at an idea. 'Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid' By Douglas R. Hofstadter is a perfect example.
