February 22, 2005 - Hadn't thawed out two years ago, but starting to lose the big chill now. Tired of seeing Amazon book reviews that look like English class homework assignments, so thinking about going back to writing those here. Looks like a lot of trolls have left, too, now that you stick around for love and not money. ;^)

May 9, 2003 - Back to poking around Epinions after a two year hiatus. The politics were getting to me before 9/11 hit, and it was downhill ever since.

If you want to see what a product review can look like when URLs are not restricted, check out my review of the Cool-iPics keychain digital camera on my personal website. (Still haven't figured out how to invoke the hats to add such a product.)

Environmentally and socially conscious, patriotic, and well traveled Missouri hillbilly. Lived in cities from five hundred to fourteen million, on three different continents. School trained in linguistics and computer science. Now work as a Visual Basic programmer and Excel spreadsheet guru.

Born in the Ozarks in 1962, and have been single and childless since then (hint to the ladies out there). I also appreciate Renaissance Faires, biblical studies, environmentalism, and world affairs.

I do reconsider my ratings if you edit your Epinion and then let me know.
