I'm known as Technophobe, folks... or just Tech and that's actually a real nickname for me. It all goes back to when I was a boy and I wanted one of those computer-thingys everyone was talking about. Never mind that we lived out in the middle of nowhere in Northern California... I just wanted one. My dad got tired of listening to me go on and on about it, so one day, he brought home a couple of huge boxes of stuff and told me, "Boy... there's your computer. Now go make it work."
To make a long story short, I eventually got everything put together but I was too intimidated by the operating manual to even turn it on. When my dad noticed that, he started teasing me, calling me a technophobe. And... the name kind of stuck.
In any case, I'm a 34 year old male. I'm married, with kids, and I work as a registered nurse.
Eventually... I'll figure out how to update a profile or whatnot here.

Hey dude. Glad to see you made it.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
