Introduction	I'm a full time dad to one son and three daughters. They are the lights of my life. They live with me half of the time and their mom half of the time after we split up in 2005. I met Rachel in late 2006 and we fell in love and married in August of 2008. Rachel and her three daughters have added a new dimension of fun and activity to our home. I'm a well-known expert in my field with a lot of books & articles in print and a couple monthly columns in IT magazines. I have very ecclectic tastes in music, art, food, and entertainment. My moods range from intellectual & introspective to goofy & silly.
