For some years now I've kept a loosely organized Web log that has finally become a major part of a Web site. It used to be just a tiny part of my original band's site. People seemed to enjoy it, so I kept writing. You can browse back issues using the links over to the right. Ok here is the good stuff.

I was born Dec. 19, 1976 in southern Maine and given the name Randal T. Rioux. It was a snowy morning in southern Maine at the time. I enjoy short walks on the beach, politics, music (playing and listening), programming, reading everything - with an emphasis on philosophy, science and computer security stuff, skateboarding, travel, and lots lots more.

On Sept. 11, 2001 my heart stopped, for one of the last times. Sept. 13, 2001 I got a pacemaker (neurocardiogenic syncope). Other than being told (October 2006) that I will be going blind sooner than later, I've been relatively healthy since, thank you very much.

My career has always been very technology oriented, and I am currently a Software Security Engineer in the Washington DC / Baltimore area. For my nerdy side, visit Procyon Labs.

Soon enough I'll finish that long promised CD, however with all that has been going on in my life lately it has been put on hold for a little while longer.
