Hello, my name is John. I'm the Senior Network Administrator for a regional broadband ISP, and I also run a popular fitness web site and forum.

This web page was created more than a decade ago, and it obviously hasn't changed too much since. Sorry about that. I guess I'm always busy doing other stuff, but one day I'll get around to a twowiresthin facelift. Maybe.

Aside from computers and networking, I am into physical fitness, mountain biking, photography, cooking, home theater, DVDs, guns, personal defense, poker, animals, gardening and guitar.

I love all animals, but I'm especially fond of dogs. These are my two kids, Loki and Turtle. I lost Turtle to cancer in 2009, and I still think about her and miss her every day of my life. Loki is 16 years old, but he still thinks he's 5, which is awesome.

Here's my searchable DVD collection (and other assorted DVD and movie related stuff). The database backend is powered by MySQL running on a Linux server. HTTP content is served by Apache, and I programmed the high-level search stuff in PHP.

Here's my body transformation and fitness web site. It's updated daily, and is an ongoing account of how I changed my life forever simply by eating right, lifting weights and exercising. You can do it too.

I have some random videos on YouTube and Vimeo. Feel free to friend me on Facebook, stalk me on Twitter or check out my photostream on flickr.

My email address is john@twowiresthin.com.

Lately I've been working on my Home Theater's lobby area. Yesterday Phase 2 of the lobby was completed. Check out my home theater page for lots of pictures and links, and information on what's to come.

Here's the new 2008 Audi A4 S Line right after a very lengthy and involved detailing. There are also a couple shots of my Mercedes SLK 350.

I sold my old home and had a new house built. I didn't move far, I'm still in Central Florida. I just wanted something bigger and in a nicer neighborhood. I closed on the house in late December, and moved over the next three days. The move may have only taken a few days, but it took months to get settled in. I'm pretty much done with all that now, and am finally able to relax and enjoy the new home. Here are some pictures of the new house, inside and out. I'm still working on the dedicated home theater room and the bonus room, so they are not pictured here (EDIT: see above).
