1. My name is Joe and I’m originally from upstate NY (Lake George). 2. I tend to be anal retentive about my possessions and like to keep them nice. As a result, when I was a kid, I never really played with my toys in the dirt. It pains me to do mods/upgrades/farkles when it requires permanent changes (i.e. drilling out or cutting things). I’m not a clean/neat freak though. Go figure. 3. When I do things, I usually go all or none. I’m just wired to always give it my best. 4. I’m not much of a drinker but the times when I do, I tend drink heavily (see #3). I’m not really fond of hangovers which explains the first sentence of this line. 5. I do computer hardware reviews for a rather large website, focused mainly on storage (SSD’s, hard drives, etc). 6. I have a degree in programming and database design but my current job has nothing to do with all that (which may change very soon). 7. My wife is Jewish and I’m just going to hell. Actually, I usually say she’s Jewish, I’m Joeish. 8. I’ve visited every continent except Africa and Antartica and logged over 100 dives across every ocean except the Arctic & Southern (around Antarctica). 9. As a baseball pitcher in high school, I had the lowest ERA in NKY (1.24) and only won a few games because the team SUCKED. I struck out 14 batters in a game and we lost by 8 runs. WTF 10.I plan on being retired by 55 and well on my way there.
