I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.
I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.
I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

ZOMG +Don Y I have to remember that phrase. Spot on!
Corruption exists on both sides of the isle, but seriously, at what point do the American people realize that one side is hell-a-more-corrupt than the other?!?!
John Bekas Jr says
At this rate… long after I'm dead.
Sarah Rios says
Not surprising at all.

The best reason to never vote Republican ever again. Including those running for any office whatsoever.
char bruns says
of course, but how many calling themselves Democrats voted that way? Get those names! I understand scumbag criminals, but the lying back stabbers need to go to the wall. chb
Paul Spoerry says
There are 55 Democrats in the Senate; 54 of them voted to overturn Citizens United. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said she would have done so but wasn't present. So in short… all Democrats voted to overturn the law and every single Republican voted to continue to allow unprecedented amounts of money being spent on elections +char bruns.
char bruns says
so a simple majority does not pass? are you also sure no Democrat receives funding from CU? I am confident on Al Franken defending us, trusted Paul Wellstone with my heart, but do not know these other 'politicians' – I mean some of them are lawyers. chb

+char bruns, this is for a constitutional amendment. A simple majority is not enough.
Paul Spoerry says
+char bruns maybe try reading the article. o_0
