Hi, I'm the moderator for Le Thwack. In addition to unnecessarily making English words into French by adding a definite article in front of them, I enjoy very much my dog (witness my avatar) and the vegetable kale (too many nutrients to count). I've been working in high-tech for (gulp)...over ten years, including stints at Cisco as well as three high-tech startups. My favorite punctuation mark(s) is/are...guess...c'mon...you can do it...that's right: the ellipses, which I can overuse. My favorite literary device is still in dispute. Onomatopoeia (what word has four Os in it?) rates highly but reminds me too much of high school. Happy posting!
