Never one to tell too much about myself on the net, but I'm an engineering grad from Purdue and I like a lot of "stuff". I do a lot of technical work, and I read a lot...not to mention the fact that I'm very opinionated, so a site where I am actually enticed to tell everyone "how it really is" is a godsend! Enjoy the reviews, I try to be as honest as possible and as direct as I am able. I read and rate every review by every person I trust, and I try to read (It's not hard yet) every opinion by those who trust me...This site is going to eat a lot of my time.

Feel free to email me, and feel free to leave comments; I love to hear what other people like and dislike about my writing.  It's a large part of what I do for a living so I find that feedback on anything I write can be helpful both here and in the rest of my life.  This bio will evolve as I do on Epinions, my views on the site and my philosophy are changing as fast as my opinions are written...more on that later.

My Web of Trust is probably what has changed the most over the course of my personal introduction and discovery of Epinions.  At first I stated here that if I was added to anyone's trust list, I would reciprocate.  This seemed like a good idea, as doing such would grow the list of people who trusted me, right?  Apparently not, as most of the folks around here take that list very seriously and in fact tend to ban uses with statements such as mine above.  Should anyone have banned me and manage to read this, please reconsider...I've re-evaluated the purpose of the list and come up with something a little closer to that which you all have in mind I believe.

Of course I encourage everyone to trust me, who wouldn't, but I am now very selective of who I put on my list.  I will add a user the first day that I see their name if I read through their list of opinions and find that I like their style, appreciate what they write about, and that they are reputable in the community; however that doesn't happen often...Only those who I feel I would believe if they wrote the only opinion on a product are those who are on my list.  I don't push this philosophy on anyone, it's just how I have decided to use that list.

Send me some mail!

Check out my MA of choice...

I will be adding links to sites and other epinions users as I find time, there is a lot I want to include on this page.
