I am a semi-retired geezer -- an ex-lota-things. I've been deemed an officer and a gentleman by the U.S. Congress (I'll bet they're sorry now). I'm an ex-electronics engineer, an ex-advertising copywriter, an ex-printed circuit designer (back in the days when it was done by laying tape), an ex-electromechanical designer, an ex-electronics technician, an ex-technical writer, an ex-computer programmer, an ex-telemarketer, an ex-boiler room salesman, an ex-MLMer, an ex-real estate appraiser (prior to the most recent boom and bust). Listed in no particular order -- just as they occcured to me.

I am now a sometimes stock and options player and sort of an Internet marketer (that's what these HubPages and my various websites and blogs are about).

My avatar is NOT that of a Christian angel, as one might think because of the wings. It is a photo of a Sumerian carving representing one of the ancient astronauts -- the annunaki. The wings are merely representative of their capability of atmospheric and space flight. This was thousands of years prior to Judaism (and Christianity), but various versions of the teachings and stories of the annunaki made their way into the “Bible”. BTW, Nibiru is the planet from which the annunaki supposedly came.

If you are interested in how Judaism and Christianity came about, and how their books are misinterpreted versions of ancient history, check out, for starters, the works of Zecharia Sitchin, e.g., "Twelfth Planet: Book I of the Earth Chronicles (The Earth Chronicles)".
