About Me
Hi there. My name is Charles, but you could have probably figured that out from the copyright at the bottom of the page. I'm currently self-employed in computer repair and consulting. My company is Results Computer Consulting in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Me, at Trinity Church in Niles, Michigan, right after my confirmation.
I would love to say something cool, like, that the Derpsite! began as some kind of social experiment or that I developed my webpage in an attempt to solve world hunger, but that's not the case. The site seems to exist to give me a place to put things online that I think others might find useful—pictures and history and software and such. Sometimes this whole thing feels like a big inside joke.
Other than geeking out writing webpages, I've been known to actually do things in real life. Amazing, isn't it? Probably amongst my favorite passtimes are working on video productions at Community Access, listening to lots of music, hosting a radio show on WIDR, and aimlessly walking around downtown Kalamazoo.
I'm married to Laura Jorgensen, er, Mercadal, and we have two children, Violet and Eleanor.
In the past, I've had such auspicious jobs as a Macintosh repair technician at Western Michigan University, a library page at the Kalamazoo Public Library, and a journalist at Business Review Western Michigan.
I have sort of a analytical and outgoing personality. The pre-eminent personality test available says I'm an ENTJ personality type, which includes such notables as Margaret Thatcher, FDR, and Jim Carrey.
This site continues to exist through the generous donation of bandwidth and server space provided by the Diablonet. Given the fact that this service exists, and the help from several of its users, here's a shoutout:
