PERSONAL

While this blog won't contain overly personal information, I'll certainly have some non-career/technology items within it.  So, a bit about that side of me...

I know myself.  I'm athletic and exercise regularly, volleyball is my sport.  I'm empathetic.  I'm a good judge of character.  I'm good at figuring things out, whatever they may be.  I'm loyal, occasionally to a fault.  I'm good at being a geek.  I like to build rather than buy (time permitting), I'm constantly tinkering with one thing or another (finished project or not).  I'm a good wing-it cook.  I regularly downsize.  I'm into little pubs or dive bars more than loud clubs.  I'm a bit of a beer snob, and love a good (red) wine...but am nowhere near wine snob status.  I'm not a fan of cold weather (growing up in the Detroit area will do that to ya...)  I've got a kick-ass dog that keeps me sane.
