Professionally I'm a geekette, and have worked as both a wage slave, and as an independent systems consultant. I tend towards more of a creative bent to balance out the geekiness of my chosen occupation...so I often strive to encompass both within a work engagement. (am I trying to balance both halves of my brain?) I dabbled in many areas before falling into geekdom. I still long to be a cartoon when I grow up, if only as a voice-over artist. My father envisioned me as a National Geographic Photographer, (I'm not that good!) instead once upon a time I was one of those annoying Baby Photographers you find in the likes of K-Mart, and Wallmart.

 

 

Now I like to capture "moments" on film and the beauty in the overlooked.

 

Some of my favorite quotes are:

 

"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished to see how much he had learned in seven years "-- Mark Twain

 

"Since it is not granted us to live long, let us transmit to posterity some memorial that we have at least lived" -- Pliny the Younger

 

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage" -- Anais Nin

 

"To much of a good thing can be wonderful "-- Mae West

 

"If the world were a logical place, men would ride side-saddle." -- Rita Mae Brown

 

"When choosing between two evils, I always like to pick the one I never tried before." -- Mae West

 

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." -- Oscar Wilde

 

"The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways". -- Blaise Pascal

 

"Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps" -- Emo Phillips

 

In case you are wondering about the icon...no...I did NOT steal it off a cookie box...it really is me
