About Me

Stormtrooperguy
I'll typically talk about a subset of: [my kid, work, costumes] To elaborate: The kid part is easy. I have one. I like her quite a lot. I talk about her. Work: I work in "devops" as it is called today. Take what used to be "sysadmin" and "developer" and squash them together. There you go! Costumes: I'm almost 40 and I play dress up regularly: Stormtrooper, Judge Dredd, Doctor Doom, etc... I sculpt/mold/cast/fabricate most of the stuff myself, so there will be a mix of show off threads and technical posts about the process.
