Welcome Powerline Readers

It's an honor to be the first Powerline Blog of the Week selection, and not just for the traffic. I've been reading their stuff (and sending the occasional email) since Hugh Hewitt first starting mentioning them, and they hit the big time almost immediately. They've been incredibly generous with both time and links, and this is just the latest example. Take a look around here, and around the rest of the Rocky Mountain Alliance & Friends, and then keep up to date with Powerline News.

Since, as Hugh says, if I don't tell you about myself, nobody else will, here goes.

I grew up in Fairfax County, just outside Washington, DC. Fairfax County had then and has now fine public schools, largely because it taxes the rest of the country to get them. I recevied a BS in Physics and Math from the University of Virginia, where I was also President of the Jefferson Literary and Debating Society. I then went on to a career in defense and intelligence contracting. When the Internet (well. HTML, really) came along, I left that career for one in web development, and have been mostly contracting in that field for about 10 years.

I moved to Colorado 9 years ago this week, and last year, I earned my MS Finance and MBA from the University of Denver, and have been trying to change careers into investment and portfolio analysis.

In addition to blogging here, I am also a contributing editor at Newsbusters.org, on the masthead at Oh, That Liberal Media, and a contributor to Blogcritics.org.

HEllo. Blog looks nice. I shall read more from you.

Congrats on being picked blog of the week by PowerLine from a fellow Virginian and online friend of Hugh Hewitt. Great work.
