About Me:
I'm now very happily married with an active toddler son. I'm working on opening a comic-book shop in Somerville, and continuing to work at Akamai.
I'm also running for President.
My personal ad used to read:
"I'm a tall, broadshouldered, laid-back guy working in
Internet computing. I'm a former journalist -- well-read and
intelligent -- but honestly not always the sharpest person
in the room. (Especially since I moved to Boston and started
working at a company full of MIT grads.) Progressive
politics, writing, design, spirituality, home improvement,
and all sorts of other things interest me. I'm easy-going,
straightforward, sometimes witty, and a little goofy. If
you're an optimist, it will bring out the best in me. I'm
active, but not athletic. Weekends, I like riding around
Boston (biking, the T), walks, exploring the city and the
countryside. Weekdays after work I read, watch TV, play
softball or board games or just hang out with friends. Last
year, I bought a place in Cambridge with the plan to get a
puppy. Plan completed. I have my new shelter mutt, and he's
amazing, so I'm just enjoying the time with him."

will be. Fun, and helpful. I wish he
were still in Las Vegas that way I
could beat him some more at Axis and
Allies. If you need someone to talk
to, James is a great listener too.
he didn't like. He'd help just about anyone
with just about anything, even if he doesn't
know what in the hell he's doing. He's blunt at
times, but never malicious. I regret the time I
couldn't drive to Pahrump to bail him out of
jail.
tummy, pulls my tongue out of my head with
his mouth, feeds me ear-wax, and smells my
feet ... but he gives me treats, so all that is
OK!
American Idol (TM):
1. He's got presence, the likes of
which has not been seen since Elvis.
We're talking leather-clad "Comeback
Special" Elvis, not jumpsuit Elvis --
though I think James has a few
rhinestone-studded jumpsuits. Who
doesn't?
2. James has had more magazine covers
in Vegas than many performers. He's
got star quality.
3. James is capable of picking you up
and throwing you ten feet, but he
doesn't. I appreciate that.
4. James has a way of saying crappy
things that's kind of endearing. One
night I was drinking alone at this bar
and James walked in with some friends,
saw me, and said, "Drinking alone.
That's pretty pathetic." And then he
bought me a drink, God love him.
5. James has a lovely singing voice. I
don't actually know that, but I had to
find a way to tie this into
the "American Idol" thing.
Siegfried. The 1994 quarter I spent to own
his munt was the best investment I ever
made. One moment he is engaged in
intellectual debate, and skipping through the
daisies giggling at Bubs antics the next. I
love James more than coffee.
