I dislike store-bought white bread.

I remember the first time I looked at Saturn through a telescope when I was about 8 years old.

I worked in a small grocery store through high school. It had two aisles and one checkout. I've also done detasseling, derouging, bean walking, office cleaning, ice cream shop, grocery night stock crew, planetarium director, and driver education instructor.

Pikolinos are my favorite shoe brand. They are comfortable and durable. I am slightly embarrassed by how many I own, but I still wear every pair I've ever purchased.

I know Morse code as a result of earning my amateur radio license.

I make quilts. I do all my own piecing and quilting.

It drives me bonkers when people put periods and commas outside of quotation marks.

I'm an amateur photographer.

I enjoy using Mac OS and Linux (but mostly Linux). Arch Linux is my current favorite. I use Windows only when I have to. Whenever I do, I feel like I'm getting a rash.

The earliest evidence I can find of my online presence is this post to the sci.astro news group on October 13, 1992.

I'm completely dumbfounded by people who aren't excited about space exploration, but do get excited about some of the dumbest things imaginable.
