Hello World, my name is Mark. aka Alfie or Maracujá

I live in the northwest suburbs of Philadelphia in a place called Norristown. I work for Reality . What a concept :) Seriously, I'm a QA engineer for testing and evaluation. I spend at least 4 hours a day looking at our development and production sites through a browser. And to think I come home most nights and sit here for another hour or two. This 14.4 doesn't quite compare with the T3 at work though :( Ok ok as of september 97 I got a 56k sportster so I can't whine about the 14.4 anymore. Please sign one of my guestbooks before you leave. I like hearing from people all over the world that surf the web. I also like seeing what other people do with homepages. This is great, like having your own bbs. This used to take a few thousand dollars and an extra phone line. And then you only got local people calling. If you want a flashback of old bbs nostalgia connect to the DDIAL the blast from the past chat system that changed the online world.

Dawn my wonderful wife pickup I was born in the 60's. Grew up in the 70's. Had my first kid in the 80's. Now it's the end of the 90's and I'm sitting back pondering the things I have done. I graduated in 1979 from two different Philadelphia schools. Mercy vocational and A. Philip Randolph skills center. I majored in electronics. Then went on to the Pennsylvania institute of technology in Upper Darby (before they moved to broomall). Then on to Control data institute downtown Philadelphia where I graduated in 1982. I'm still trying to figure out the total dollar value of all my electronic playing over the years. Should I even bother? Hmm, I still search through endless flea markets and yard sales as well as the newsgroups looking for old games. I drive a pickup truck. A Dodge Dakota Sport. The real one from 95 not the baby Ram. Some people call it a city boy toy. I say it's the biggest mid-size pickup truck available. I had no need for a truck :) I just thought it would look cool. And if the urge hit me to drive over parking spot dividers or curbs I would be able to. *NOTE* as of 3/99 the truck is no more. Lease is up :( and since we need the money for a house it looks like I'm driving the neon for the time being. Oh yeah. We got the house. Ahh the wonders of home ownership :)

I have stopped the big ponderings now because I have found the true meaning of life but it was a little less than I had expected.


I should also mention a wonderful wife :) The Picture is a close match really. I swear! :) Her name is Dawn and she is a redhead! Not quite as lethal though. She did make me give up a superbowl weekend to get married. If you are really curious ckeck out my photo album.

baby baby Bailey Grace was born 7/7/97 at 13:03 USA eastern time. She was 6 lbs 11 oz. 20" and she is a blue eyed blonde haired little cutie.
