I used to go by Bierbrewer but I've decided to just go with Paul for now. When I first signed up for my flickr account, I was really into brewing beer. I still enjoy brewing, but lately finding the time is a challenge.

I am a senior solutions architect for a large data services company where I spend most of my time designing pretty intense virtualization solutions. The downside is that most of my hobbies have been taking a back seat because of this. For instance:

I haven't played serious poker in months.

I still need to bottle a batch of beer I brewed back in June.

I haven't touched my blog in quite a while.

I love cooking but haven't made anything short of a burger in months. (But I did make some pulled port recently and it was the joint!)
