Hi,

I live in the Philadelphia area. I have many interests, but I'll list a few here.

I've recently gotten into slacklining, who knew balancing on a piece of nylon webbing could be so fun. I'm into computers (as everyone here is). I've played with linux, and by that I mean I've run it solely off and on, but always end back up with windows. I'm into paintball, and making stained glass. Up until this summer, I had practiced wing chun and tai chi.

I'm looking to get a shell account (also like everyone else) so I can irc from work (shhh!) and help out / hang out with the community.

That's all you're getting for now, unless someone is interested.

he he I watched a program about slacklining and it looks impossible but v cool
and i have to say that painyball does rock

Getting on the slackline the first few times was difficult, but like with anything else, it gets easier with practice. Well, maybe not getting on it, but staying on it was.

It seems that our body does have an innate ability to balance itself. It sounds obvious, but people do tend to think that balancing is difficult. If you force your body into a situation where it must balance itself, it will learn how on its own. Thinking and conceptualizing what effects balance does help, but isn't necessary for the body to find balance on its own.

If you ever get the chance to try slacklining, try it out.
