Who Am I

All my work and volunteer history stuff is on my LinkedIn page, and talking about myself is probably my least favorite topic. Anytime I have more than three bits of data I usually want to make a spreadsheet but that seems excessive here, so maybe I’ll just give you some lists:

Shows I like

  • Star Trek – All of them, seen most at least twice.
  • Doctor Who – It’s supposed to be silly.
  • The Expanse – Watched twice.
  • House, MD – Watched numerous times.
  • Hawkeye on Disney+ (and the comic it’s based on)
  • Ms Marvel on Disney+ (and the comic it’s based on)
  • Reservation Dogs (FX/Hulu)
  • The Bear (FX/Hulu) – Tried to visit but it was closed due to cold.
  • Schitt’s Creek – Didn’t expect to like it.
  • Ted Lasso (AppleTV+) – Really didn’t expect to like it.
  • Leverage
  • Foundation (AppleTV+)
  • Night Court (including the new one)

Wheels

  • 1985 Dodge Ramcharger – my first car but broke down and I had no place to store/maintain at the time so had to sell.
  • Many other past vehicles including two Dodge Avengers that looked nothing alike other than color.
  • 1964 Jeep Gladiator J300 – My current project vehicle. Click for its instagram.
  • GEEKAFK – The tag moves from vehicle to vehicle, but currently my primary/fun car, and the reason I’m “Away From Keyboard” is a red Chevrolet Camaro Convertible.
