About

Yet another Omaha blog dealing with less Omaha and more of a world-wide perspective.

I can be funny.

I can be obnoxious.

I write about all kinds of things but mostly politics and economics.

I like loud rock – Shellac, Bastro, etc.

I’m a Libertarian and libertarian.

I love to read

I like technology

I live with my dog Samantha (Sam), a 6 year old Scottish Terrier.

I like aluminum neck guitars. I own a Vaccaro Generator X (original American version) that is bright orange and sparkled with a white pearlized pick guard.

I’ve been playing the drums for over a year. I’m not very good but I own a Yamaha DTS electronic drum kit and a ludwig Accent CS Elite acoustic set.

I still buy CDs and recently started buying a buch of vinyl. I prefer higher audio quality over portability.

I believe Steve Albini and Bob Weston are two of the best recording engineers on the face of the planet.

I have multiple tattoos. A dragon on my back (my first), a dragon on the outside of my ankle I got in the Philippines, a Liberty Bell I had done when I visited my friend Summer (go Philly roller girls!), and I have a fairly unique, colored skull and bones on my shin I had done in Chicago.

I lived in Texas for a year – hated it.

I’ve lived in Omaha for the rest of the time.

I hate Omaha. It’s a cool city with some things to do, but not much of a city for me.

I’m an atheist

My favorite show on TV in “The Wire”. I also watch Big Love, Weeds, Dexter. I also watch the Discovery Science channel religiously.

Of course my opinion here does not reflect the opinions or idea or thoughts of my employer.

I’m a critic and sometimes skeptic. I hold reason over emotion although I’m emotional about my own reasoning.

I smoke.

I use Macs, PCs and Linux boxes at home and work. I prefer Macs for their interface and “everything (almost)” works capabilities. I prefer Linux for a general operating system (Ubuntu). I use Windows because I have to under certain circumstances (Work).

I do lightweight web programming (PHP).

I hate programming.

I’m a conceptual person and deal well with ideas.

I think cursing is an art.

I believe the American political landscape is missing the voice and value of dissent.

I’m done for now.
