To keep this organized, and keep it from going completely out of control, I will attempt to layout some of the sections that will be coming as soon as I have a chance to write them up.

There are a number of things that I like:

• Linux and other open source projects
• Programming
• Encryption
• Role Playing Games
• Photography!!

And a number of things that I don't like:

• Monopolies
- it might be fun to play the game by the same name, but it is not fun when, as a private citizen and a consumer, the choice has already been made for you by predatory business practices.
• Government Bans on Free Speech/Encryption
- very similar to Monopolies, except in this case, this has the illusion of being a monopoly for the people.
• Fads/Hype

Community Services

There are a number of things that I enjoy doing for the internet community. One such thing is doing a little technical support within my expertise. One such expertise is Systems Administration. Unfortunately I have less time than I would like, so it is far from complete, but things will come along, as I go. 

I also maintain a list of DNS-related links, including all of the relevant RFCs, most of the current Internet Drafts, and various other mailing lists and web sites that may be of interest.

I maintain a list of Information Security-related links. I add to that as there are relevant sources to link.

I just started to maintain a list of IPv6-related links, including relevant RFCs and other web sites that may be of some interest.
