I'm an "old school hacker" who started at 12 of age in 1979 on an Atari-800 with a 300 baud acoustic modem!  I wrote my own multi-user BBS software (6502 microprocessor based) shortly thereafter and by 1995 ran the world's largest BBS and Internet Service Provider with an OC3 in the basement of our offices.

This is all behind me nowadays and I work for corporate amerika now, but in my free time (when not riding my motorcycle) I explore the world as a "travel hacker" getting the best flights, lounge access, accommodations and travel packages in general.

I am also a member of TOOOL, EFF, ACLU and many other NPOs. (Oh, yeah -- I'm a gay men too!)
