Who I Am

I'm Charles Philippe Pouliot, the organist, computer programmer and Linux enthusiast.

My family ancestry

My father's is of French-Canadian ancestry, my mother, Eastern European. The Pouliots of North America are all descended from one Pouliot, named Charles Pouliot, who came to Quebec from France after 1650. I myself am a descendant of the eleventh generation of Charles Pouliot. I was named after him, although my parents did not know the exact lineage at the time I was baptized.
All my grandparents were born in the United States. All my great-grandparents were born outside the United States. So I am the third American-born generation on all sides of my family.

My interests

I am an avid learner, and constantly study new things, especially in computing. I make heavy use of the internet, particularly through the search engine Google.

However, I do other things in my free time besides studying and learning about computers. I enjoy music, both practicing and listening. I play organ, and love organ music the most, especially masters such as Dietrich Buxtehude, J. S. Bach, and Cesar Franck.
My favorite non-organ music:

I also like to discuss and debate politics, religion, and philosophy with close friends.
In the future I will have opinion and discussion pages.
