AARP Developer Persona
Geez, am I feeling like a senior citizen today! I have been reading all these CF developer personas today, and except for Sean Corfield, every one I have read is a thirty-something. Time for a tail-end baby boomer to get involved. So, I am gonna go on about my bad self for a second, right after I take a swig of Geritol and change my Depends.
- 51 years old
- Married for 24.5 years, have two daughters and two dogs, but been through the whole bird, snake, fish thing too.
- Drive a Dodge Dakota Pickup
- Bought current house ten years ago, in rural Maryland on about a 3 acre wooded lot. I spend a lot of time raking leaves in the off-season
- I used to be a Mac zealot, but I eventually grew out of it, like 15 years ago :) Have Dell and Alienware laptops.
- I watch a lot of Foreign and Indy films from Netflix. Will watch the occasionally epic movie (Lord of the Rings), but will not go to a movie theatre.
- I watch the evening news on 3 channels (NBC, ABC and Fox), 24, Battlestar Gallactica (I watched the original series in real time as a college student, for all you poseurs out there ;), Family Guy, and will be getting into Lost after recently covering the first 2 seasons on DVD.
- Into road cycling, and kayaking. Don't like snow sports.
- Into spicy food, although my wife and one daughter have celiac disease (allergy to wheat), so we really eat healthy most of the time, with special menus. When we eat out, Thai is my favorite, along with sushi. love Mexican. My daughter has a Peruvian boyfriend who is a chef, so we get treated to that occasionally. One daughter works at a French cafe, so we eat that too. We love garlic and will even put it into corn flakes, if necessary.
- For music, I love progressive and jazz fusion, as well as classic rock. Basically anybody that can really play without relying on a ProTools setup to make them sound way better than they actually are. Groups like Yes, Rush, Toto, Los Lobotomys, Dream Theatre, Porcupine Tree, Spocks Beard, Tool, etc.
- I go to YouTube to check out bootleg concert footage of some of the aforementioned musical groups. Don't enjoy watching people being goofy.

I am learning a lot from you blog. Keep it up!
Seeing the list of bands you mention, have you tried The Flower Kings or The Tangent yet? I have to admit a vested interest, as I'm involved in the fan organisation for both bands, but I'm sure you'll hear something to your tastes. You might also like to try Riverside, seeing as you like Porky Tree.
All the best
