It's a reference to a [http://www.last.fm/music/The+Toy+Dolls/_/Dougy+Giro Toy Dolls song].

Dougie, Doug, Douglas, some variation somewhere in there.  I really don't care that much, and try to not take myself too seriously.

== MacinTap ==
I have a proof of concept utilizing a [http://www.micromatic.com/draft-keg-beer/jockey-boxes-cid-671.html cold plate] from a jockey box, some [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling Peltier coolers] and a Macintosh Plus case to create as far as I know... the world's first solid state Thermo-Electric Beer Server.  It has passed an initial alpha test, but requires some beta testing.

== Urban Assault Vehicle ==
Stella and I just bought a 1972 Winnebago Brave we're going to hack. 
*It of course is requiring some mechanical upkeep, but this vehicle is older by far than the vast majority of NB members and is arguably in better shape.
*We are installing an EVDO card, WiFi router, new speakers on the inside, KVM mounted to a wall, on board computer for music/movies, PA system outside, lots of lights... 
*We are painting the whole thing matte silver on the outside, medical white on the inside, blackout fabric curtains, lots of fans...
*We are making a permanent bar in the rear, and maybe install a beer keg and/or absinthe fountain.
*Basically we are making the best possible place EVAR to hang out at Burning Man during a dust storm.
It's putting the '''RV''' back in '''RIVET'''

== Other Projects/Interests ==
*Homebrewed Beer
*(Distilling?)
*Knots and ropework
*Motorcycles
*Macs
*Natural Languages (rusty but decent Spanish, learning German, dabbled with Romanian & Scots Gaelic)


== /etc/blah ==
* I pay the bills as an Apple Certified Trainer, so I teach newbs how to deploy and maintain Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server in various ways, and repair the hardware under warranty.  I could teach (of the record, nothing relating to my company or Apple) some of the basics of networking, basic Unix navigation and troubleshooting MOSX systems.
* I don't claim to be a Unix guru, but I know enough to usually get the job done.  If I do end up teaching a basic Unix navigation session, I assume that many of y'all will know more than I do. :)
