Casper, Wyoming, United States
I have the heart of a warrior, and the soul of a poet.
I have given up aspirations of doing something in the technical field as a career, and now code just for fun, like I did when I was a kid.
For a career, I taught young folk Aikido.
It was a fulfilling and challenging occupation, and it was nice to find a job that fit "just right".
But once moving from California to Wyoming, I haven't been doing much of anything.
A good way to get to know me is to read my livejournal.
I don't post everyday, but there is plenty there.
I am a father.
I value honor an honesty.
I'll try anything twice.
My various names:
I am known or have written under the following names:
L. Christopher Bird (legal name)
Christopher Michael Bird Cain (no longer used)
Tadhg Christopher Bird (Current nom de plume, future legal name What I've been going by in 'real life' for over 5 years now)
Johnny Fusion =11811= (Cyberpunky pseudonym)
KeltBoi (various net stuff)
ZenMondo (more various net stuff)
Anakin Starkiller (Star Wars Fandom Stuff)
That's about all the 'nyms I'm willing to admit to right now.
