Get in touch...

With broadband Internet and mobile messaging, I am almost always online these days.  I may not actually be there, though, physically or mentally.  If you're contacting me during work hours, I'm most likely at my desk, massaging a slinky and staring at my hourglass.  If I don't answer right away, give me a few minutes to regain cognizance.

E-Mail: Wizerd1 [at] GeckoBlue.org

Instant Messenger: IT Wizerd

Yahoo! Messenger: Tech_Wizerd

MSN Messenger:   Yeah right.

...but read this first

- I love to talk, and can discuss anything from the philosophical, to the political, to the social, to the emotional.  Anything thought-provoking.  Anything but the mundane.

- I have been known to engage in a probing, "rapid-fire" style of conversation that catches strangers off guard.  It's not that I'm juiced up or caffeinated -- just my way of optimizing the conversation for maximum stimulation and minimum wasted time.  If you're not ready for it, then don't come calling.

- I am generally more interested in improving my understanding of a subject than winning the "argument."  However, I can be very argumentative if I believe my views are more logical and reasonable than yours.  I concede logical points, and refute everything else.

Gestapo 296  (5:56:06 PM): Hi
IT Wizerd (5:56:06 PM): Heya
Gestapo 296  (5:56:06 PM): Came across your site...I disagree that John McCain and Colin Powell would have made a third party "dream ticket" for 2000.
IT Wizerd (5:56:06 PM): Why's that?
Gestapo 296  (5:56:06 PM): Well, they're a great combination, but they still wouldn't have had a chance to win the election.  It's all about the "get out the vote" operation as well as special interest money.
IT Wizerd (5:56:06 PM): That may be true, but I think you're underestimating the viability of third-party candidates in the face of two uninspiring mainstream candidates.  If 19 million people can vote for Perot and his aloof running mate Sgt. Whatshisname, then credible candidates certainly have a chance.  It was especially true in 2000, since Bush vs. Gore presented an even worse choice than Bush vs. Clinton.
Gestapo 296  (5:56:06 PM): Right, but a nascent third party would be out-hustled on the ground and also outspent.  They wouldn't get a sizeable chunk of the Christian Right or affluent whites who make up the base of the Republican party, nor would they appeal much to the labor unions and liberals who vote democratic.
IT Wizerd (5:56:06 PM): True...that leaves only centrists and independents.  And we both know they're outnumbered by idiots on both sides of the political prism.
Gestapo 296  (5:56:06 PM): haha yeah really
IT Wizerd (5:56:06 PM): Though Powell could get a large number of minority votes.
Gestapo 296  (5:56:06 PM): True...
Gestapo 296  (5:56:06 PM): Hey check my site out too, it's at www.myblog.com/.....
IT Wizerd (5:56:06 PM): Very nice, wanna crosslink?
