About Me...

the paleo nerdYes, I'm a paleo nerd.  I admit it - I find all things paleo interesting.   No matter if it's geography, stratigraphy, taphonomy, diet, climate, or bones , I love it.  OK, bones not so much...  It's like being a kid in a candy store.  I have to thank my advisor for bringing out the paleo nerd in me.

After working at Koobi Fora, I realized that I have an interest that is very broad, and understanding the total environment that our earliest hominid ancestors were living in is very important to me.  I'm especially interested in the effects of the changing climate, and how it affected the diet and nutrition of those hominids present in the Lake Turkana region of Kenya.  

In my spare time (whatever that is), I tend to build computers, build websites, and knit.  I have several websites online at the moment .   I'd love some feedback, so fill out the form below...  Thanks!

The Basics

" The word "hominid" refers to members of the family of humans, Hominidae, which consists of all species on our side of the last common ancestor of humans and living apes. (Some scientists use a broader definition of Hominidae which includes the great apes.) Hominids are included in the superfamily of all apes, the Hominoidea, the members of which are called hominoids. Although the hominid fossil record is far from complete, and the evidence is often fragmentary, there is enough to give a good outline of the evolutionary history of humans."

- Jim Foley, 1995




Another site that I have recently started up is geared to Penny Auctions, called Penny Auction WatchDogs (pennyauctionwatchdogs). If you don't know what a penny auction is, it's a great way to win high-end electronic items, as well as any other imaginable type of item, or even gift cards to your favorite restaurants, for PENNIES on the dollar. There is some risk to it, but most users do come out ahead. Sometimes, WAY ahead. The best way to approach penny auctions is to do your homework!

For this reason, I started Penny Auction WatchDogs - a community where you can interact with other bidders and site owners, and get information about who can be trusted, and who can't.
