This place is a godsend. I hope that here I can find a culture that I can relate to.

I'm 23, a student, and an 3rd-shift internet mechanic.
Exchange of reading tastes anyone?
Does anyone speak lojban, or Francais?? I wish to reach fluency with both.
Any programmers? I would like to try working in teams with other people who think like me. I rarely have the experience.

TiddlyWiki changed my life.
PhysOrg, Hack-a-Day and Wikipedia is where most of surfing time is spent.

Music!!

  1. 311!! !
  2. Porcupine Tree
  3. Dream Theater
  4. Nonpoint
  5. Filter
  6. Collective Soul
  7. Minus the Bear
  8. etc... List is extensive and eclectic.

Recent on the playlist:
  1. Rush - Manhattan Project
  2. Dream Theater - Solitary Shell (Someone wrote a song about me!)
  3. Weird Al - White and Nerdy
  4. Porcupine Tree - Sky Moves Sideways


Currently reading:
The Chemistry of Conscious States
Investigations

I intend to contribute short things I've written. I notice the user-submitted content area is immense. Would anyone like to recommend a place for me to start? I hope to meet new friends here. International contacts would be cool. I would like to hear how other's have fared in a different social environment.

Please be patient if the markup in my sig is exposed. The profile editor doesn't seem to be playing by the rules it set forth.

Bienvenue à WP, jspark-311. Où as-tu appris le français? C'est assez rare, je crois, à Phoenix, AZ... :)

Another Rush listener! Welcome to WP!

You can choose a ready guide in some celesital voice,
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice!
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill,
I will choose a path that's clear,
I will choose freewill!
