In real life, I have a family, a job and a home. I go to my job
and I
return home after I work. I enjoy my time off from work.
That's my real life. I am a writer, a journeyman diesel
technician and industrial power generation technician, a licenced
A&P aviation technician, a USC certified aircraft accident
investigator, and served 9 years with Textron Lycoming (now Honeywell)
as a technical representative on their turbine engine product
line. I am a computer geek who sometimes gets lost in the
internals of my laptops and desktop computers. I help run a ham
radio network of people around the Pacific Rim to assist vessels at sea
in routine and emergency communtications and position reporting.
In my non-real life, my digital representation of myself lives here in
a computer, where it explores all of the
other computers around the world. Many of them are good sources
of information. Others are not. I try to decide which ones
are good and which are not. I have information too. You can
see it if you wish. It shows you who I am in both of my
lives.
Blogs? I have several. There's hamradiohead, CWI Arcata for my
job blog, and there'll probably be more before it's all over. I
also have put up some of my columns written for the Eureka Reporter
here.
My
source of geek news is slashdot.org.
Sometimes good stuff is found there, and sometimes it's days ahead of
mainstream news sources.
I'm a Linux operating system enthusiast. I find myself visiting linuxtoday.com for what's going on
there in that world. I'll soon be the owner of a UMPC linux
laptop, either an Asus eee, or an Everex Cloudbook. I'm looking
forward to it.
