The Meandering Blog

Must be a record or something.

So today I thought I’d let you know a little about me.

I write software for a living for a large (and growing) health care system in Ohio.  I’ve been writing code professionally and no so professionally since 1982 when I first sat in front of a Apple 2e and fell in love with technology.   It was my senior year in high school and computers were still a new thing.   I liked them so much,  I actually helped teach the class the second half of the year.    I bought myself a commodore 64 and was off to the races with it.  So when I say I like computers, I mean it. Code anymore leaves me feeling flat.   I don’t know if its me or my current job.  The struggle to look forward to going to work is currently being fought.  Work will win of course,  that’s how life goes.

I’ve got 2 kids (I don’t recommend twins as a way to start a family, but hey, it worked out ok so far.  I suppose I can’t really complain about that.

In my copious spare time (maybe 2 and a half hours an evening after they go to bed, lunches made, dinner cleaned up, wife talked to, etc I play video games.   I have played an extreme number of games in my life.  I’ve got a Xbox 360 and my current desktop (a 24″ iMac).   On the Xbox, I’m currently playing Dragon Age and it is shaping up to be a fun game.   I think the graphics are a bit funky in the Xbox version,   like it doesn’t quite fit the proportions of my TV screen.   I can live it, but it does annoy me.  You’ll hear a little about Xbox gaming on this site.

On my mac, I play World of Warcraft probably to much.   Its a fun game and I’m in a good spot guild wise.  You’ll hear a good bit about Wow on this blog and some about other games as well.

So that’s me.  To quote Popeye, I am what I am.
