Bio:
robert a. jakobson
I was born on April 14, 1962 at 11:40
... Which depending on who you ask is 50 years to the minute when the Titanic Sank. This is the same day that the words "Houston We Have A Problem" were uttered by the Apollo 13 crew.
... Anyone seeing a pattern forming?
Basically - going back through history whatever I was going to do it was destined to work with technology, critical situations, avoiding disastaters, and possibly working as a hotel manager if you believe my high school placement exams. A Bio seems to be the thing of the week - so here's mine but I should warn you. I hate doing bio's because:
A) There is no way to do one that isn't egomaniacal.
B) No matter what you do or how you phrase them - You're forced to cut out stuff or worse sound like a bad beauty queen contestant...
<sarcasm mode>
"I like sky diving, long walks along the beach and dancing in the rain while I think of world peace..."
</sarcasm mode>
...and finally my last reason for hating Biographies...
C) I, like Robert Heinlein's fictional character "Lazarus Long", have always felt that any personal queries about someone should generally be answered with a resounding "Go to Hell!". It's nothing personal - but some Bios I've seen reveal a bit tooo much personal information. And besides, who cares what kind of character I have on Eitrig? (I used to have an Elf but I'm back to City of Heroes when I can ... it doesn't affect my work by taking 3 hours for a mission.)
But this is a brave new world ... and politeness dictates I give you some concept of my skills and personal info. So... now that I've wasted 10 minutes of your life you are never going to get back ... you can check me out on the web:
For those looking for me on the web... here's the list
People checking for info on someone on the web? What will they think of next?? Yes, in todays world, it's true... People do search to see if you've got a blog or social network page that's embarassing. I like to help people out by leading them to my embarassments.
If you do find anything more embarassing about me than this stuff that's out there - please send me a link so I can enjoy it too.
