• Altair is the 11th brightest star in the sky.

I like being ping'ed. I'm particularly interested in all things associated with Asia, particularly Japan, The Philippines and now India since my job got relocated there.

I play World of Warcraft with Mrs. Altair. Get over it.

I work for a Fortune 50 (I can't count any better than Obama does) corporation that every FReeper uses to access FreeRepublic.com. I do not believe we are an evil monopoly - we do not crush opponents like Microsoft does, we just make better products than our competitors do. Capitalism FTW!

I believe in: (in no particular order)

• Less & smaller government
• Lower taxes
• More personal liberty
• The Constitution of the United States
• Freedom of Speech and Religion
• Abortion is murder
• All things Unix/Linux :-) (the matches on "altair" in any Linux distro's ChangeLog directory are me)

Proud member of the libertarian wing of the Free Republic since 2000.
