Notes from a Fiery Nest
|
|
| Name: | ironphoenix |
| Location: | Ottawa, Ontario, Canada |
| Birthdate: | 1973-06-18 |
| Bio: | Friend at will; if you want me to friend you back, be someone I know IRL or interest me with your comments!
I'm Christian (Roman Catholic), and try to learn about and practice that faith as best I can. I do take inspiration from other traditions, sometimes in surprising ways.
I'm married to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) soul_diaspora, and have been since 1999.
I stay in food and rent money by doing R&D at an established small-to-medium-sized technology company.
I'm also pursuing a PhD in electrical engineering part-time, and should spend more time on that.
For about 6 years, I've been practicing aikido. I'm better at it than I am at most other physical skills, but I'm no expert.
I listen to a fairly wide variety of music and DJ for fun. I like sharing good music.
I play a lot of games. Role-playing games, card games, board games, minatures games... it's all good.
I post less often than I might, because this is just one of many ways I have of spending time. I don't usually do the "this is my life right now" style postings, but it does happen. Unless otherwise noted, my life involves slightly varying concentrations of religion, sleep, family, food, work, aikido, friends, music, gaming, and reading. Oh, and thesis. Mustn't forget about the stupid %(&^ thesis.
I don't post anything I would be upset about having the world know about me, because this is, after all, a website. If I want to talk to you about my sexual proclivities, marginally legal activities, office politics or other subjects that it's not wise to shout from the rooftop, I'll do it in e-mail, by phone or in person. So, unless I friends-lock a post (very rare), feel free to repost with attribution. If you make any money from something I wrote, I want a share, and I want to know how to turn more of my scribblings into cash too.
