Father John's Random Musings

I am a Roman Catholic priest, but before going into the seminary in 1990 I was a UNIX Systems Administrator for an aerospace company. While in the seminary I worked summers as a UNIX Sysadmin for Apple Computer. I am presently administrator of a small (500 family) parish in Richmond California. I have been going to conventions since 1975 (Westercon). I was Events Head at ConJose in 2002. I am a costumer and have been part of several award-winning costume groups, most recently FuturIkons at Noreascon 4. I have worked as a masquerade catcher since 1982. I like bad SF/Horror movies, Serenity/Firefly, Babylon 5, Tolkien. I am interested in film special effects, minatures, and stop-motion animation. I am an amateur magician and member of the Fellowship of Christian Magicians. I am a member of the Autism Society of America, The International Rett Syndrome Association, and the Silicon Web Costumer's Guild.
