Dan Mayer's Profile

Last Updated: Sept 1st, 2005

Who am I?

I am currently a software engineer working at an engineering company. I write varied software dealing with distribution and XML. I also spend a lot of free time working on art and other projects that let me tap my creativity. I try to remain vocal in my opinions and have always been fairly blunt. I am always trying to maintain a good balance between work and having a social life. I try to make sure I still know the normal people so I can write software people will want. Oh yeah and i like to make weird sounds, like pirates argggggg matie!

That doesn't really say anything!

Oh well i guess at least you have some background info now. If you really want to know look at the stuff i have on the web and you will get a better idea. Dan Mayer's blog is the best way to learn what is going on because I update it the most.

Oh yeah i can't spell and i don't use spell check for the web. That is just a part of me.

Oh yeah I maintain www.wastedbrains.com

And my Blog is at Dan Mayer's Blog

Dead Awake My movie

God - I do believe in some sort of a god. I just don't think humans could know anything about god really. I mean even if god talks directly to one person. That person's interpretation could ruin the meaning. So i just try to live life without hurting others.

Shocking - I don't really know what it is, but some people have it as part of their lives to shock other people. I am one of those people. I thinking forcing people to see things from a different perspective can be a good thing for everyone once in awhile. Many musicans and artists are this way, then again although brillant Salvidor Dahli was insane and cruel. So perhaps i am just insane and cruel.

Animal Rights - I am always a little back and forth on this. I basically believe animals deserve fair treatment. So free range meat is good. I just think that all the factory farms must be horrible lives. I don't think their is anything really wrong with eating animals if they have a good life. So currently i eat freerange and i don't worry to much about biproducts. (buy Horizon Milk and Nestfresh eggs)

Jobs - I think that probably the biggest mistakes i have made so far in my life is that I always worked computer related jobs. Never in a job with just a bunch of other kids that are trying to make some cash. I really missed out on some of the meeting and hanging out and joking that goes along with that. All in all not that big of deal.

Love - Currently i have no belief on this. My old belief was destroyed. With no belief, I just have a set of ideas that i jump around between trying to find a place to fit into again.

Traveling - I know it is expensive, but i think everyone should travel. Especaily out of the country. Their are so many different cultures and ideas to open yourself up to. I hope to travel more soon, but traveling is expensive and I am saving money for it.

Dancing - I love to dance. Look at the videos page and you can see me try. hehe
