I’m Shamus Young, a 34 year old software engineer and a happily married father of 3. In my free time I tend to play videogames, watch Anime, play D&D, and write software of dubious value. I also tend to write about these things here.
I don’t have any sort of degree.
You can probably extrapolate the rest by just looking around the site. I’m a stereotypical nerd. I’m the author of this Cyberpunk novel, and was the guy behind this politcal satire site.

keep it real !
Later.
Well, Shamus, I’m right about your same age, trained as a radar electronics technician but currently working in photographic equipment sales, happily married father of 1. Obviously, with similar interests, of course.
Nice to see I’m not the only ‘grown-up professional’ that still finds time to ‘play’.
Has anyone ever told you you look like Bill Gates?
Hysterical and endearing.
