I stole this from Blizzard. Cool, huh?

Programmer Fashion Strategist, and REAL ULTIMATE PROGRAMMER, at your service.

I design software. It's awesome. It's a shame there's never enough time.

I'm a wannabe artist, a pseudo-intellectual, and a fabulous dancer.

I think I'm clever. An antidisestablishmentarianistic (sic.) revolutionary (sic.). ...and hardcore.

It's almost a shame I'm not. I'm actually pretty boring. A nerd, if you will. No, really.

I'm smart, and funny, and perverse. I give no more than 100%.

I have heaps of computers, and, um, stuff.

I misspent my youth, but can't bring myself to regret it.

I love scuba diving, with Pete's Dive Club, and the crew.

I'm a caffeine junky. Believe me, it's worse than it looks.

I smoke (occasionally). I love it. ...and I'm not even sorry.

I never quit, except when I do.

I am a libertarian and I believe in the sanctity, rights, freedoms, privacy, and primacy of the individual.

I am a progressive and I believe in breaking down social barriers,
such as those around socioeconomic class, gender, sexuality, age, religion, heritage, and so on.

I am a conservative and I believe in the importance of our institutions,
such as the family, law, democracy, religions, traditions, and such. (See: Chesterton's Fence)

I am a capitalist and I believe in private property.
(But I have some qualms around various forms of "intellectual" property.)

I am a Christian but not a very good one and I won't bang on about it.

I am a social democrat. I think we have an obligation to our fellow man.
And beyond that, looking after our fellow man and making sure they receive some bare essentials,
such as food, clothing, shelter, health care, education, and personal security,
is actually in all of our interests,
as it keeps the workforce strong and capable,
and keeps people off the streets and out of the courts and the prisons,
leading to better outcomes and costing us less in the long run.

I am a person. I have values and feelings.

I am complex.

I am a contradiction.

I am INFP.

I've been on the winning team. I've been on the losing team.
I've been the apprentice. The child prodigy.
I've been the boss. The loathsome tyrant.
I've fired, and been fired.
I've been the great hope, and the great disappointment.
I've been a tremendous success, and an embarrassing failure.
You too?

I'm a drop out, and a drop kick. I've been burnt, and I've been bashed.
I've been pushed around, used up, put down, heart-broken, shat on, and kicked out.
I've got a lot of angst. I'm paranoid. I'm abrasive, and confronting. I'm a chef!

But don't worry yourself too much about all of that -- we're all winners.
I'm interested in one thing Neo: the future.
I haven't completed the training program, either.
I carved out a beautiful space for myself. I love my life.

Speaking of love: I *love* music. I won't tell if you won't. Oh yeah. Psy-trance baby!

One day, after I have become indisputably the best computer programmer in the universe,
I'm gonna be a DJ. It's my true calling.
This programming gig is just to satiate my masochistic needs.

I love my family, and my mates. I care about my country, and yours.
I care about Truth, and Justice. I Search for the Meaning of things, and for Quality.
God and I have a few things to sort out in the afterlife. Or, not. I can wait.

Oh, and I can't spell. Mail me.

Remember the past. Live in the present. Dream of the future.

Be the change in the world you want to see.
