In no particular order:

I am me. I have been a web geek since 1995. Still remember the external 14,400 modem using dial-up to connect to the World-Wide Web on my 386 laptop using Netscape 1.1. Yes I was the chubby kid in high school who dragged a laptop to class. No easy feat in 1995.

I am also a writer, went to college for it. Worked for some weekly and daily newspapers until I got sick of it. Still dabble in writing and am working on a book.

I also am a media gadfly. What is a media gadfly? Well a gadfly is a fly that pisses off a horse by being annoying; Media is kind of a no-brainer. I comment on news stories for a radio station once a week. A “top three” list so-to-speak, what’s newsworthy. Sometimes it’s people for doing a good thing, sometimes it’s for being a schmuck! I try to get through each weekly segment without raising the ends of my sentences too high, or saying too many “um” or “ah”‘s. It’s fun, nice to be doing something in radio and the guys on the air are pros (they didn’t make me say that either).

I am a Husband and Dad too. Four kids, or as I call it 2/3rds of a starting line up for a hockey team. I think Ottawa might need the help. Ask me 12 years ago if I thought I’d be a dad and I would have called you crazy and ordered another round of beers. Ask me now and there is nothing I’d rather be. Personal policy of mine is I don’t write very much about my kids online nor do I identify them much. Too many creeps out there.

As for all of the above, not perfect. Made and make mistakes. Try to learn from them. Try not to repeat them. Trying to do better at admitting them and fixing them. Trying. I try my best.

Thats’ me, all I can be.
