another introduction
« on: January 06, 2011, 11:15:37 PM »

I posted @ HN in 2003-2004* under the alias LarstaiT, and dug this account from my email archive 'cause I felt nostalgic!  :wink:

Mind tells me 2003 is more accurate

In nine years since my last major annoyance I've gone from fifteen to twenty-four years old. I was lucky enough to maintain and develop an intrinsic appreciation for knowledge, regardless of what public school tried to strip from me. My major influences are astrophysicists C. Sagan and deGrasse Tyson, folk metal band Agalloch, evolutionary biologist R. Dawkins and all-around bad-ass Christopher Hitchens. I work full-time in the oil&gas industry (tell me about it) in Texas, working on B.S. - Biology (online), and my favourite hobbies are reading pop sci books and magazines, and enjoying life in my  new home with my wife of five years and one year old daughter.

The last thing I remember as far as forum news goes is... something about thunder3davis being exposed as a liar. How did that turn out?

Ah, sums it up.
Souls exist in fairy tales, so I assume curb-stomped pseudo-hacker must be at the bottom of the garden with the other fairies. End of discussion, I guess.

Ha-ha! No-one has ever accused me of being a popinjay before.

Also, what provoked Galloway's invective was Hitchens' position on the war in Iraq. Unlike Hitchens, and like Galloway, I am and was from the start against that war.

Nonetheless, I think "drink-soaked former Trotskyist popinjay" works beautifully as the status message under your avatar.

I'll consider it. I may have to drop the word "former".
