About
I’ve been blogging for some time, since 2003 or so. I ditched my previous blog, Codex Markianus, and took couple months off. But then I couldn’t resist relaunching into the blogosphere, and I did so with All Things Expounded. If you are a detractor you can call it “All Things Confounded”. Take it for what you will, love it or hate it. Sometimes I hate it. For comments, questions, or suggestions, please contact me and I will promptly ignore it. I’m joking. Sort of.
Labels that describe me to some extent:
- Christian, Reformed Baptist, Libertarian, Uncle, Technologist, System Administrator, Programmer, Developer, Geek, Nerd, Linux Enthusiast, Webmaster, Blogger, Bibliophile, Master of No Trades
Things consuming my attention lately:
- I & II Peter (Bible)
- school (part time, one course: Constitutional Law & Politics in the Charter Era)
Things I’ve done in the past by God’s grace (these things qualify me as an authoritative blogger)
