About
Hey there. I’m Tom.
I’m a geek. And a father.
Hence the name.
I’m also a husband. Not that it’s any less important, It just didn’t make as catchy a name for the site.
While geek is what I am, network engineer is what I do. I have more than ten years of experience in small, medium, and large-scale environments. This means that I spend a lot of time sitting in meetings, waiting for groups of people in neckties to argue about how little they understand what I’m talking about. I’ve also probably wasted at least two solid years staring at screens, waiting on reboots and installations, or stuck in traffic, getting from one emergency to another. This means I have ample time to think. Sometimes it’s on geek tech stuff. More often it’s on more abstract concepts, such as religion, family, parenting, husbanding, astrophysics, philosophy, time, parallel universes, music, art, and perception.

Anyway, I’ve been writing annoying long, (occasionally antagonistic) e-mails for more years than I can remember. That eventually morphed into a blog. It was suggested to me that I’d written enough that I should make my own page. So, here we are.
In this blog I’ve got a rather odd collection of writing, ranging from daily rambling and drunken belligerence to technical white-papers, to essays on religion, parenthood, friendship, sex, or whatever else might be crossing my mind. So dig in, explore this ongoing core-dump of my brain, and try not to get any on you.
