"One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away." - Stephen W. Hawking

"No! Not enchanted bunny!" - McGliga to Sheldon

If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

When encountering cognitive dissonance, prepare to exercise parallel processing.

"The voices in my head hate my imaginary friends."

Quarks, leptons, and bosons are the fundamental particle aspects of Superstrings which make up the structure of all matter-energy and space-time in our Universe.

I always have some sort of electronic computing device on me. 21st century fashion.
Lutheran (Missouri Synod)
But believe in the Big Bang and evolution.
I enjoy studying cosmology and sub-atomic particle physics to learn more of God's creation.
German, Scottish, ... I'm related to you if we go far enough back.
I love my country and desire everyone to respect and get along with each other.
Every online political quiz I've taken says I'm a centrist with libertarian leanings.
Warning: I am Christian and conservative, but smart enough to see through political correctness and other forms of diversities attacking society's moral values.
Animals! ;-p
They are of my blood, sweat, and tears.

"The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents."

"Some things Man was never meant to know. For everything else, there's Google."


"If Python is executable pseudocode, then perl is executable line noise."

"The more I C, the less I see."

"To err is human... to really foul up requires the root password."

"After Perl everything else is just assembly language."

"If brute force doesn't solve your problems, then you aren't using enough."

"Life would be so much easier if we only had the source code."

"To go forward, you must backup."

"I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code"

"A Windows user spends 1/3 of his life sleeping, 1/3 working, 1/3 waiting."
