I’m Denise - the same referenced in the domain name. I’m both an IT professional and an entertainer and it seems like I’ve always been doing either one or both of those professionally, although, that’s not actually the case.

This blog is personal and will never be business or completely topical. I enjoy journaling/rambling and I have no problem with the fact that, most of the time, my entries don’t contain a punchline, a moral or even a point to make. Sometimes I just need a place to blurt things out and the fact that I have simple computing skills, a debit card and Internet access allow me this venue.

I have so many hobbies and interests that I seem like a crazy person and I enjoy talking about them all - even though they aren’t all enjoyable topics. In fact, my favorite thing in the world is engaging conversation. I love talking with people who make me really want to both listen and become involved in a conversation - especially when they make me care about what they have to say. I also love listening to a talented storyteller share a memory. My formal education is in theatre but you could catch me reading about or performing some task pertaining to anything. All of these things are a part of me and could all end up as blog fodder: modern performance cars and most things automotive, NHL hockey (Tampa Bay Lightning), electronics, amateur(ham) radio and all OTA broadcasting and radio technology, musical theatre, beer, all things modern computing, dyslexia, politics and political campaigning, Wikipedia, dystopian fiction, home theatre, Arena Football (Tampa Bay Storm), composing music for and playing piano, Star Wars, singing, performing, the arts of mime, clowning and character mascotting, animal rights, vegetarianism, Crohn’s disease, infertility, local media and pop culture, ISS and NASA, satellite radio, kreteks and cigars, roads, GIS, maps, fantasy sports and beautiful TPA, FLA along with almost everything pertaining to her.

I am a geek for real research, trivia and superfluous knowledge. I watch Jeopardy! every night that I’m not otherwise engaged. I’m a venue snob, a beer snob, a concert snob and a roadgeek and, yes, I really talk like this.
