Why isn't this page more flashy?
Because this page is designed to give you some critical information quickly
and efficiently. All of those bells and whistles and flashy
stuff get in the way of that. But Marketing people love that stuff, and
I suppose if you are selling something, marketing is important. I'm not
selling anything, I am just providing information.
Men Working Against Abuse (MWAA)
I am also passionately interested in the cause of domestic violence and
abuse of all kinds. So here is a pointer to Men Working Against Abuse (MWAA), one
of the
few organizations that is actually working with men who are in abusive
relationships.
Commercial Ventilation and Vacuum.
Call Commercial Ventilation
and Vacuum for all your duct cleaning needs. They not only
clean your duct work, but they can install filters and perform mold
remediation.

I'm the sysadmin of angel.commercialventvac.com.
However, my day job is a Network Support Engineer for F5 Networks. Prior to that,
I worked two stints for Real Networks as a linux sysadmin.
I've been a general computer expert for Seattle Forestry Sciences
Laboratory (SFSL) (See the section on below).
Formerly, I was sysadmin at Mathsoft's
Data Analysis Products Division (now known as Insightful, and formerly known at
Statistical Sciences (Statsci).
Sometimes I write web pages and sometimes I write other software for
other things. I am also the president of Men
Working Against Abuse (MWAA), a domestic violence organization
dedicated
to helping men with their abuse issues. I am a father, and I
purport to think about Jewish topics, and sometimes all of these things
overlap in various strange and wonderful ways. However, I have written
an affirmation
of
cluelessness, where, after much thought and deliberation, I decide
I haven't a clue.
