I'll try to keep my replies as meme/gif heavy as possible. You've been warned, or promised, depending on your connection's bandwidth and data caps.

Background:

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving payroll accountant in Pennsylvania with a low-brow sense of humor and a love for the Alamo. My mother was a public school secretary (she did not have webbed feet).

I went to Catholic grade school, public middle and high school (all in PA). Spent one year at VT in 01-02 during which I developed a love of the football team and spent too much time playing Xbox, Counterstrike, and Warcraft III. I probably should not have spent my first semester's food budget on the Xbox, but it was new at the time. After that I decided I didn't want to be a "real" engineer.

I eventually went back to school to get a degree in Math & Physics. I've worked various jobs since I was 15, including selling Magic/Pokemon cards at mall card shows, teaching Magic/Pokemon/Warhammer at comic shops, Walmart, Hollywood Video, repairing computers in public schools for not much money, writing software for not much money, writing software for a lot more money, and these days I manage people writing software.

I've lived in eastern PA, Blacksburg for that year, Greensboro for three years, and now I split my time between eastern PA and Orlando. I've got four kids.

I've got plenty more smartass remarks that I want to make about a plethora of topics that I'm inclined to nerd out about, but I'll let you all ask the right questions first.
