About Dan
I live in Cleveland, Ohio, with my wife and son. I am a Senior Systems Engineer with a large telecom company, who are gracious enough to allow me to work at home full-time.
I get paid to administer computers for a living, but since nobody pays me to do so for my home network, I have been using Apple machines since about 2001. Why? They Just Work. I use a 15” MacBook Pro. I am not one of those Apple cheerleader fanboys (and I think they give most Apple users a bad name). I publicly admit that my MacBook Pro is used daily with a Microsoft keyboard and a Dell monitor.
Though perhaps not as well traveled as my wife, I am more well traveled than most people I know, having set foot in 20 U.S. states and 14 foreign nations.
I am a vegetarian. I am not a vegan like my brother; frankly, I’m not sure I’d be able to manage assembling a meal, nor could I survive in a world without cheese and ice cream.
I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.

I read several photography-related magazines and web sites, have written a photo gallery publishing system, and have thousands of photos filed away on my laptop. Most never see the light of day. I use a Canon Rebel XT digital camera and absolutely love it.
