Diet Coke. I drink way too much of that.

I work at a government agency as an IT technician. I primarily deal with server virtualization, storage and backups, but also work on switches, network security, and a few other misc things as well. I also occasionally write software at work when I'm bored and have nothing else to do.

Don't forget Deepwater Horizon and the Bay of Pigs. That's my birthday as well

I generally don't like to go to the movies period. They're overpriced, and too many people spend the movie chatting.

(Based on Google) An average bulldozer weighs about 35 - 50 tons. An freight train car weighs between 30 tons (empty) and over 130 tons (full). Considering a freight locomotive can pull dozens of train cars empty, I don't think the bulldozer's traction would prove much of an advantage. Especially when you consider where the rope (which would have to have a breaking point in the hundreds of thousands of pounds) is tied - more likely it'd cause the bulldozer to tip backwards or lift up.

In terms of personal phones I've used, in order: - Kyocera K9 Rave (Virgin Mobile) - Audiovox Flasher V7 (Virgin Mobile) - Samsung SGH-D807 (AT&T) - Sharp Sidekick iD (T-Mobile) - Blackberry 8320 Curve (T-Mobile) - Samsung Galaxy S (US Cellular) - HTC Hero S (US Cellular) - Samsung Galaxy S3 (Verizon, Current) I've changed phones pretty rappidly, though it's because I've either had to switch cariers (coverage has always been an issue where I live), or the phone was junk and I had to replace it. Both my current job and my previous job were positions that required me to keep a phone on me, and those were, in order: - Blackberry Curve 8350i (Sprint) - Blackberry Bold 9650 (Verizon) - iPhone 4 (Verizon) - Samsung Galaxy S3 (Verizon) - iPhone 5 (Verizon, Current)

The Powershot isn't a DSLR, it's a point & shoot. DSLRs have an optical viewfinder and a reflex mirror that allows both the viewfinder and the sensor to see the same image (not at the same time though).* I do love using my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) as a digital camera as well, especially since it does take good pictures, and I have it with me a lot more frequently than I have my DSLR. But DSLRs are way more flexible. I hate how cell phones lack a manual focus, aperture and shutter priorities, have small sensors and (usually) no optical zoom. I find phones to be way more convenient than actual cameras, but in a lot of applications (especially low-light situations), A DLSR would normally perform a lot better. *A lot of people will also include interchangeable lenses in the definition of a DSLR, but in reality, the name DSLR only implies three things: digital sensor, single lens, and a reflex mechanism. There have been a few DSLRs, such as the Olympus E-10, that did not have interchangeable lenses.

Diet Coke is my favorite drink. I probably drink more than a healthy amount of it. I'm not a huge fan of Pepsi (never liked the taste), while regular Coke (or any drink with a lot of sugar in it) gives me massive headaches.
