I'm a nineteen-year-old college student, born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. I was introduced to free open source software (FOSS)a few years ago when my copy of Internet Explorer took a nose dive and a friend introduced me to Firefox. Naturally, I loved it and in time my computer was loaded with FOSS. Then, in late 2007, I took the plunge into Linux and haven't looked back since. When not preaching the virtues of open source, I enjoy reading classic science fiction, playing obscure video games, dabbling in programming, and of course writing.
