About Me
- About StratCat
- Biography
- A man whose soul is of the arts, but of necessity prostitutes hisself in the world of technology.
- Location
- Chicago - USA
- Interests
- Lately...I've been collecting *way-too-many* tubes and op-amps!
- Occupation
- Systems Engineer (Wireless Telecom Infrastucture Support)
- Music Preferences
- Eclectic preferences: Classical of all periods along with the Holy Triumvirate of Jazz-Blues-Rock as a foundation, augmented by a potpourri of most anything else.
If it's "real", displays "creativity", and the artist has "soul", I'll like it. Any one one of the three aforementioned attributes will work. All three are nirvana!
Very happily, AKG and Headfi have definitely caused a re-awakening of my love of classical music; Strings and a cappella, in particuliar. - Interests (non-headphone)
- Guitar and Piano, Distributed Computing, Politics and Current Events (read:
I love a good debate), Reading, and Family (The most expensive and time consuming hobby of all!)
