21. I served in the US Army as a 13F with 4-29 FA which has apparently been reclassifed as 4-27 FA.

31. But can't stand iced tea
32. Although iced coffee is good.
33. I taught myself HTML, CSS, and PHP. My class this that semester teaches taught Python. I would rather learn Java and/or C++ instead.
34. Since then I have had the privilege of learning Java. It's what I do for a living now, actually.
35. I still write most of my own development code in Python though. I just like it better.
36. The philosopher I most love to hate is John Locke.
37. I'm listed in the acknowledgements section of the liner notes of this album. I really liked these guys a lot.
38. I worked/lived at the Rogers House bed and breakfast for about a year. Some of the best and worst times happened in this house. I lived/worked with some of the best/worst people there. I wonder if Ray is still among the living.
39. I like to refer to my hometown as Mudville and my home state as the Great American FloodPlain. I'm only half sarcastic when I do so.
40. I memorized the lyrics to "It's the End of the World As We Know It" when that song came out. I can still do the whole song from memory today.

44. I am a quick to anger, quick to forgive type.
45. Although I can also hold a grudge for one hella long time.

49. Except by use of Panda. See above.
50. I am a reformed smoker. The last one happened in November of 2001. I still love cigarettes, they just seem to want to kill me so it's probably best we don't see each other any longer.
51. Well, to be honest, there have been a few slips since then, but this is still true in a broad sense.
52. I purposely flunked calculus in high school so that I could take auto shop with my friends the next semester.
53. I barely got a C in calculus in college. The year off from mathematics really hurt.
54. I managed to pass a urinalysis test in the Army by concealed use of a minature Johnson & Johnson baby oil bottle and $10 worth of untainted urine.
55. This tidbit seems to be one of the primary ways people find my site via search engines.
56. My experimentation phase took an abrupt hiatus at that point.
57. I believe that if society permits the use of alcohol and tobacco, it is hypocritical to outlaw the use of other addictive and/or mood alterting drugs. I'm not looking for legalization, I'm just looking for consistency.
58. I think sleep is a funny word. It just sounds funny.
59. Of all the colors in the spectrum dark purple is my favorie.
60. I have a hard time finishing lists.
