I worked in IT and telco for over 15 years. I still do every now and again, just not lately. Writing was mostly a sideline up until a few years ago.

Plus I heart Nixie tubes. They're cool, and I really want to make a clock someday.

It's a GNU image, which means I'm not violating a copyright like I usually am, and I like the image, so what does it really matter where it comes from?
