Although he's a respected network engineer who has been recognized by his colleagues and employers for the excellence of his work, Scott also lives a full life when he's not sitting in front of a computer terminal. How many computer engineers do you know who are active in various sports activities as well as being involved in charity work? Truly, Scott strives to find balance in both his work and personal life, and his range of interests in reflected in the strong online presence he maintains.

The blog that hemaintains on his personal website reveals some of these interests. His recent posts are on topics as varied as unsolicited credit card offers, the importance of exercising your right of suffrage, why we should set big goals for ourselves and the importance of getting back to the basics such as common decency and doing the right thing even if it represents an inconvenience for us.

The posts give useful advice on how to address these vulnerabilities by upgrading your system to the recommended package versions listed. Yes, it's a highly technical blog, but one filled with practical tips and information for the techie guys out there. This site is truly worthy of a guy who is an active member of the Central Pennsylvania Linux User Group (CPLUG).

But heis not just a computer geek and a blogger; he's also an outdoorsy guy who lists biking and cross-country skiing as among his leisure activities. These interests are reflected in his blog, which offers a wealth of information on outdoor and camping activities.
