If it was played on XM Radio BPM station between 2004-2008 chances are I liked it.

Movies and TV.
I love unusual and weird B movies from the 60's through 80's. The Astro Zombies, Night of The Comet, cheap spy Bond knock-off's like Operation Double 007, Danger!! Death Ray. Primetime soaps, I used to be addicted to Melrose Place, Dallas, and Knots Landing. Silent films are cool too, anything with Gloria Swanson or Ramón Novarro.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With a mustang cobra engine under the hood, i got the speed odometer on a 94 Lincoln Mark VII to once crest above 127 MPH. It wasn't really a feeling of nirvana traveling at that top speed, but the acceleration to get up to 127MPH that was a blast. Now of course this isn't something one should ever do on a public highway.

Teach, Learn, Share

My mind is chocked full of useless info on cars, music, and movies. If you need the answers to
1. What's the length of a 1966 Chrysler New Yorker?
2. Who played "Billie" in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!?
3. What year was Puerto Rican American freestyle singer Lil' Suzy was born in?
I'm the man with the answers. In case you were curious
1. 219 inches
2. Lori Williams
3. 1979

If you got a computer problem that's hardware related I'm your man. I build and rebuild PC's all the time. If you have a question about any application in Microsoft Office I can usually help you out. If it's a networking problem, or random software glitch, I'm usually pretty good at finding out the needed solution to fix it.
