About me

Industry Law Enforcement or Security
Occupation Risen ape
Location Canada
Introduction Risen ape, optimistic nihilist, philosophical skeptic, secular humanist, atheist+, LGBTQ ally, clinobibliophile, ailurophile and chess patzer. Worked most of my life as an operator/dispatcher in the field of electronic security until MS forced me into early retirement. Usually sentient after the morning coffee. Occasionally snorts-out coffee through the nose. Permanent member of Sceptiques du Québec and board member of Atheist Freethinkers (membre permanent de Libre penseurs athées & Sceptiques du Québec). Bilingual (French/English) and trilingual when I occasionally use expletives or when I've had a beer (or a sleepless night) too many (donc ne vous gênez pas pour me contacter en français). Can be found on twitter, facebook, goodreads, delicious, reddit and on SETI@home (Team Carl Sagan).
