About the author

You probably don't care, but Elliott Steele is a pseudonym. I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to figure out who the author is in real life, but I hope it doesn't matter. I intend to be a bit more blunt and controversial in my writing than I am normally in person so, in a sense, you're reading the musings of a character I have created. The ideas should be more important than the author.

With that caveat, I do think it's somewhat interesting to know a bit about a blogger's background, even if it is somewhat imaginary. I'm a middle-aged male living near the coast of North Carolina. My wife values her privacy so I'm leaving her out of this blog. Politically, I'm a Reagan Republican. I'm not particularly happy with the state of the Republican party, and I would seriously consider joining some a new conservative party if the opportunity arose. I'm a life-long Catholic, having attended Catholic grammar school and high school. I go to church regularly and I'm pretty orthodox in terms of faith, but I'm saddened by the corruption and liberalism that seems to have taken hold in the Church in America. I graduated from one of the top universities on the West Coast. Professionally, I'm a computer guy -- in particular, a Mac hacker. I wouldn't mind working for Apple some day, which will never happen if Steve Jobs reads this blog.
