What web site do you spend probably the most time on?
Grasshopper.com – oh wait, away from work? In all probability Amazon.com – I am a ‘Prime’ member and I’m addicted to purchasing issues with free transport. I do most of my procuring on Amazon now.

When you may have any superpower, what would it not be?

What’s your largest pet peeve?
When corporations create web sites that suck simply to allow them to say they’ve a web site. You need to at the very least purchase a $20 template that has been designed by an expert (hit me up on twitter at @nickux when you want some route on this) and for the love of god, don’t use MS Phrase to make your web site!
What’s the weirdest meals you’ve ever eaten?
Donkey. Additionally, whereas I used to be touring in Vietnam, I ate some meat (off a buffet) that the server on the restaurant did not know what it was… so perhaps that was the weirdest factor I’ve ever eaten? I do not know.

Within the spirit of honesty, and maybe the expense of concern, I’ve at all times needed to go bow searching.
Enjoyable information – have something attention-grabbing individuals ought to find out about you?
I lived in China for two years with my spouse and a couple of children. I am a redneck who loves large vehicles and different redneck-type issues. I’ve a tremendous spouse who in some way, for some loopy motive, loves me… and I really like her again.
