About Me |
I am 31 years old and love the sunshine. I have a variety of interests and goals. My most notable loves being technology and the outdoors. I am not an avid camper or nature watcher. I do, however, love playing sports outdoors, going on hikes, and anything related to water -- water-skiing, jet-skiing, swimming, waterslide parks. I would much prefer to be outdoors enjoying the sunshine than cooped up inside all day (though I, like many, have a office job). I am the type of person who prefers to ride with the windows down on a hot day, rather than turn the air conditioning on. [Okay, if it breaks the 100 degree mark then I'll likely cave in] :0)
I used to work for a computer manufacturer, as a Technical Support Specialist. That means I was one of those guys on the other end of the phone when you call up to say "It doesn't work!! Help!!!". That was my first job in the computer field. Today I work closer to home for a civil engineering firm in the Information Technology division. I help manage the web, email, file, print, application, and database servers of the company, in addition to general network support.
I used to be one of those people that feared opening up the computer to add more memory, a new hard drive, or whatever. Now that I have been doing this for more a few years, I no longer have that fear, and have already upgraded, and fixed my own computer numerous times (both those I use at work and this one here at home). Now when someone calls with a question or a problem, I take it on wholeheartedly as a new challenge!
I use and am proficient with both Mac, Windows 9x (95 & 98), 2000, NT, and DOS based systems.
Titanic |
If you haven't seen this movie yet, let me just tell you right now, do! It's awesome! One of the best original scripts ever. If you liked The Joy Luck Club then you will absolutely love Titanic! The movie has a great love story, incredible effects, recreating the tragic disaster like never before. Plus you will experience what it was like to be on that infamous voyage; the sets, the costumes, even right down to the mannerisms of the cast --- every detail has been painstakingly attended to. This movie is definitely a keeper for your home video / DVD collection!
By the way, did you know the director isn't making a dime off this movie?! even though it was a large portion of HIS money that funded it.
Good Will Hunting
Probably one of THE BEST movies of all time. Rivals Titanic, but the really incredible thing about this whole movie is who wrote it, and the complexity and depth of the subject matter and story line. The movie (if somehow you haven't heard) was co-written by two of the movies main leads, Ben Afflect and Matt Damon. These 20-something actors/writers not only managed to crank out one of the most original, heartfelt, and entertaining movie plots of the late 20th century, it is also one of the more thought provoking. And needless to say, teamed with Robin Williams, the acting performance by all in the cast is phenomenal!
This movie will blow you away again and again, and leave you with much to talk about and much to reflect on in the characters you meet. It's now available on video, so if you've only seen it once, or maybe you've NEVER seen it (bite your tongue!) might I suggest tonight be movie night? :)
On TV
I don't spend much time watching TV these days, but my two favorite shows that I try to regularly tune in to watch are Once & Again (ABC) and West Wing (NBC).
Technology: where it's at! |
As for my love of technology, you name it I probably would love to learn more about it. Sure I think computers and the internet are great, but take a moment to look around. Whether in your home, in your car, at work, or on your person, the number of ways technology continues to impact our lives is astounding! And with our transition from the Industrial Age to the Information Age, technological innovations will most likely continue at an excellerated rate. This is truly a great time to be alive!
About my new Home Page |
This is my second attempt at a web page. Here you will find more information about me and my interests than in my previous "bare-bones" home page. Take your time; explore the links that appeal to you. I've included information here about local artist Jocelyn Enriquez, one of my favorite musicians, and a new pollution free energy invention the mainstream media isn't talking about. Have a look around, and I look forward to hearing your feedback about my new site.
As with any website, mine is a work in progress. I need not tell you this will always be "Under Construction".
