About Me

On Life:

I believe in giving credit where it is due and I appreciate getting credit for my own work.

My car is a truck – still.

I really hate Facebook – seriously, really seriously.

I shut my phone off at night.

I enjoy learning new things.

I don’t like the act/work of traveling, but I like seeing, and being in, different places.

I just want to pay for the cable channels I watch, right?

I don’t like crowds – or elevators – or heights – or flying.

I am an American classic car fan.

On Music:

I don’t spend nearly enough time playing my guitars.

I have a 1968 Gibson J45, 1971 Goya, 2005 Seagull Cameo, 2006 Seagull 12-string, 2008 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster, 2006 Breedlove Black Magic, and a couple travel guitars.

I gravitate to guitar driven music of all kinds, what else?

I like Dave Grohl, Roger Waters, Keith Urban, Larry Carlton, Jimmy Buffet, Brad Paisley, Coldplay, Death Cab for Cutie, The Civil Wars, Imagine Dragons, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Michael Hedges.

You should try to play an instrument – its healthy, and people say it improves your other skills.

On Technology & Work:

Raspberry Pi’s are awesome and I have a few.

I like open source thinking, and I like to contribute when I can.

My office is always a mess.

Protect your privacy.

Don’t post your entire life on the Internet.

I am entirely too electronically connected.

I do not read work e-mail on my personal time.

I’m not an Apple fanatic, but I do have a MacBook Pro or 2, an iPhone10XR, an iPad and an iPod Touch.

I also have an HP laptop with Windows 11, and other systems with Debian Linux on them.

What does MyHSD stand for? It’s short for My High Speed Data. Pretty geeky, but I wanted a short URL.
