I am a Christian. I’m Nat. Sometimes I feel insane. Other times life feels somewhat in order. Life is a mystery and a paradox but it’s not completely meaningless because God is writing the story and he doesn’t make mistakes.
I’m deeply interested in personal computers, more on the software side, though. I find making web stuff rather fun even though I’m a coding noob. I like Linux but am rather stuck in Windows at the moment (pity, please?). I like this blogging stuff, too. I like photography a lot, but I’m not all that great or dedicated to it. In fact, I only have a years old Canon PowerShot. I do post stuff from time to time on my Flickr and am subscribed to two photography magazines.
I don’t know that I’m particularly wise, but I have been raised in a Christian home, homeschooled, and currently attend the private classical school Providence Academy (since 5th grade), all which has given me a pretty good education over all (well actually, it’s a little different this year). That being said, test me. I want to know if my Logic, Apologetic, and Rhetoric skills are functional (I’m fairly confident in my Grammar, Spelling, Basic Mathematics and Algebra, and so on).
I’m not in love. I think I might want to be, though.
I like random stuff, companies that aren’t evil, and using punctuation for exact meaning.
I don’t like plain oatmeal for breakfast, 90s styles, MySpace, dial-up internet connections, or the inane-ness of life when you don’t look at it right.
I only know how to contra dance (okay, and a small bit of square dance). Other forms are unknown to me as of the present. I used to be a beginner at piano. Now I’m defunct, I suspect. Hopefully I’ll go back to it sometime; I do like some piano pieces. And then maybe someday we can make some actual Mumbling Moocows songs.
FriendFeed – Mashup of some of my public content. I don’t visit anymore.
Twitter – Microblog. For reals. I joined back in 2008 because I figured I might as well and it seems to have grown on me.
Flickr – The better photos I take go here. Most of them are CC licensed.
Delicious – Web bookmarks. Here I put reference material, cool stuff, and the like. Easy tag support is very handy. I like the public aspect of it but it also serves as a general trail of my web meanderings, stretching back into the past for viewing by both myself and others. I also don’t have many browser bookmarks anymore, which is great.
Super User – A question and answer site for computer enthusiasts. Rather fast, quite helpful. Not a forum. I’m trying to get up to a 2,000 reputation score so I can edit any post (copy editing is fun).
Ficly – Here I write fiction in 1,024 characters or less. One can write sequels and prequels to anybody’s stories, make challenges, and of course comment. I’m somewhat addicted.
Design somewhat inspired by Jason Kottke’s About page.
