Giving Thanks

Good Evening

Thank you for stopping by. This photo was taken 4314 days ago.

I have a personal blog at OpenBrainstem, which I founded to provide resources and information for open source software projects I and others are working on. Other's also have blogs at OpenBrainstem, which you can find listed at http://blog.openbrainstem.net/.

A Little Bit About Me

I was born Sunday, May 12, 1974 (Mother's Day) to Robert L & Shirley Lu Peterson (the first of six) in Weiser, Idaho (well, the hospital I was born in is approximately 30 minutes away in Ontario, Oregon). Growing up, my family has lived in Kent, Washington (a suburb of Seattle); Weiser, Idaho; Boise, Idaho; and Castle Rock, Colorado (between Denver & Colorado Springs). My parents & family (the two youngest are still "at home") now live in Weiser, Idaho, birthplace of both of my parents, my sister Janine and myself.

My bride Charlotte & I were married on Saturday, September 22, 2001, in Centerville, Utah (where we now live). It was a truly wonderful day. The weather was perfect, the ceremony was beautiful, our reception hall (the Canterbury Reception Center in Bountiful, Utah) was breathtaking...and best of all, Charlotte was absolutly qorgeous in her wedding gown (I'll stop there).

Hobbies & Interests

I must admit that I am one of those people...you know the type I mean?...that would like to be activly involved in twenty different hobbies. Unfortunately, (or fortunately, depending on your point of view) I have not, as yet, been able to be that active. Therefore, only a few topics are discussed here. Rest assured, I am working on additional material to post soon.

Of course, the sub-menus provide details about many of the things that I enjoy.

In Conclusion...

Prospects for this web-space are exciting. What fun I've had putting these pages together. Hopefully, every visitor finds (at least) one of interest.

Enjoy!
