I am a graduate of something or other from Purdue University. I've somehow turned into an avid biker that doesn't like to get passed by a roadie. Update: I now ride a road bike. The universe sure loves its irony.
I'm a stellar cook and a voracious reader (and after reading my books I eat them with a little french Bechamel sauce topped with a little crumbled gorgonzola).
I am now doing vulnerability research and devel for a small computer security company down in Reston that prefers to remain anonymous. Maybe I'll get around to updating this page if I ever find some free time lost in between my couch cushions. I really have no idea how bloggers do it.
I used to be an OpenBSD developer but am now officially an OpenBSD lazy bum bum slacker since I only show up in ICB when summoned (usually for some involved TCP discussion). I was one of the orginal PF developers but have dabbled all over the tree. I've been told that after I have kids then I'll probably become an active OpenBSD developer again. I don't quite see how that works but Drahn swears that it's so. Michelle and I have a few more continents to get to before kids come along so don't hold your breath.
I'm going to Africa in Oct '08 for a safari. These days every one assumes that a safari means a photo safari. I'll be on foot deep in the bushveld and the animals that I photograph won't be moving by the time I photograph them :)
This is my new bike. It's red, so it's fast right? Giant OCR 0 Elite with a combination of Dura-Ace and Ultegra parts. Did I mention it's red? And the mountain bike has been relegated to the garage.
Bundled up for the winter, give me a beach and a corona any day over snowfall and these DC granny drivers.
I can cook up yummy stuff. Here is Gladiator Chef Mike. Sparticussssssss, get your grubby fingers outta my sauce! And a pic of me in my new condo's kitchen.
Mike in a ferrari!!! Gotta get me one of those!
Mike in front of the golden gate bridge. Three months without a haircut in the summer of '00.... Again in '04 in front of the bridge and of course I need a haircut. I swear, everytime I visit that city... And I lived there for a summer!
I dress up good (no, not 'well') and look dastardly in a tux. Draw, fire! ya ya, so sue me.
The furry feline imps of satan: Stinky and Keats. Keats trying to eat my camera.
Some california friends when they came to visit. Always gotta be the most tanned in any gathering!
And the famous pic of Nerfgun Commando Mike. Ya ya, my tan wore off by the middle of winter. Ja ja ja ja. I'm a bloody German and can bob my head like one. Schnell shnell!! Ok, that exhausts my command of the German language. Move along, nothing to see here.
One of our semi annual Vegas Vacations. Some college buddies and I from the top of the Stratosphere. Note the grin? I was up $100
Getting schooled at skeet and fivestand with my cuz Phil and uncle. I got like six and fifteen respectively to my cousin's 24 and 49. Ya, I suck with a shotgun.
