About

Update: April 27th, 2010

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 I’ve done in the past by God’s grace (these things qualify me as an authoritative blogger)

  • Was laughed at by multiple police officers while in the emergency room with a serious injury
  • won a fish racing contest… by a significant margin
  • saw my name in a book on the bookshelf at a bookstore
  • a few of my recipes appear in the ominously named Python Cookbook
  • my mug shot appears in a book called XML and PHP
  • spoke to an audience of over 500
  • overcame a begnin spinal cord tumor
  • tried a garlic milkshake and garlic frozen yogurt
  • captured beetle specimens on behalf of a zoo
  • read straight through the KJV bible
  • saw a bear in the wild, ate bear meat
  • Identified 25 bird species in the wild

Some things I’d like to do if I get many more years (deo volente)

  • Read 1000 books
  • Write a worthwhile book
  • Visit every Canadian province and U.S. state (1/12 and 13/50 so far)
  • Visit 10 Latin American countries (2 so far–D.R. and Cuba)
  • Get that BA I’ve been studying part time for (19/30 credits so far)
  • Read the New Testament straight through in Greek
  • Memorize an entire Psalm
  • Learn the Serbian/German/Spanish/Latin Languages well
  • Watch every single Peter Sellers film (17/~50 so far)
  • Read every single P.G. Wodehouse book (32/~95 so far)
  • Identify every bird species native to my location
  • See a rattlesnake in the wild
