Title: Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Evening
Post by: Kiros on January 22, 2009, 04:33:35 PM
Of course, I'm new to HAF, and I'm glad that my brother showed it to me.

To begin with, my name is Ben. I also respond to 'Kiros' as it's become somewhat of a nickname over the years. I was born into a Catholic family, so until about a year or two ago (in my last years of high school), I followed Christianity. I'm a rather logical kind of guy, so I'm surprised that it took me so long to completely grasp reality. Nonetheless, I've been an atheist since I was 17 years old.

I'm really interested in technological and medical sciences. In my free time, I love programming and web-coding, and sometimes I even get into designing. I have a good bit of experience in several languages, and in fact, I was a full-time webmaster from 2006 to 2009 for a teen support website. I retired 20 days ago to give myself time for school, work, and a bit of a social life.

So that's that. I hope that I'll have enough free time to stay an active member of the community :D

Hi, brother.  :D

Might have to bug the Boss Lady to change my name to my standard faire, since all my computer literate friends know I'm an atheist now.  Alternatively, I could just get pictures of boxes with pipes in them for profile image.

Ahoy. Unfortunately, there are not too many pictures on Google Images that fit any combination of "pipe" and "box," except ones that have some site logo printed on them ._.

You should just change your name to "Flying Spaghetti Monster that Happens to Live With His Mom" or something to that effect. Then you would have tons of worshipers.  :hail:
