* A human life is priceless, and has a value; however, that value cannot be determined, and it is accepted that "human life cannot be bought at any price."
* Therefore, the value of my life is infinite.
* However long I live is irrelevant regarding a calculation of the value of my life on a per day, hour, or even minute basis, since infinity divided by anything is still infinity.
* Since the per-hour value of my life is infinite, it is a violation of my humanity to assign any kind of cash value less than "infinity" to my time.
* Therefore, I should be paid an infinite amount of money.
* Since money is a finite resource, I should be paid as close to "infinity" as it practical. A good start would be "all your stock options are belong to us".

I have loved working with computers since I was a kid. I specialized in software development, but I also do a lot of systems administration and some network engineering. Currently, my development interests are in C#, parallel processing, and exploring business usage of dynamic and functional languages. In addition to my day job, I write for TechRepublic, primarily in the "Programming and Development" area, and ForMortals. I am currently (when time permits) working on a book that aims to teach new developers everything about how to write software, other than how to program in and of itself. In addition, I do a bit of software development under the banner of my own company, Titanium Crowbar Industries
I enjoy learning about history and philosophy (I doubled majored in those subjects in college) as well. The essays on this site regarding those topics were all written by me in college and high school. I also am extremely interested in physical fitness, and devote a substantial amount of my time to weight lifting. I am currently focusing on lifting heavy weights and I have participated in a few powerlifting meets. Currently, my non-technical readings have focused on various religious ideas and fitness. I am a big fan of Phillip K. Dick and Frank Herbert, and both of those authors have shaped my worldview greatly.
