Who is this "jigawatt"?

***UPDATE***


After two and a half years of blogging, I feel that it's time to introduce myself. I've got a pretty good profile on blogger, but here's a little more.



Name: James Harold Thomas, aka jigawatt

Age: 26

Social Security Number: 078-05-1120

Credit Card Number: 5675 116 116 1352, Exp. 13/02

Location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Occupation: I'm a Graduate Student at LSU in Electrical Engineering; I'm also a Professional Engineer in the states of Louisiana and Arkansas. From May 2001 through July 2005, I worked for Entergy in the Transmission area.

Married: Indeed - to Steph for 5 wonderful years and counting

Pets: Daisy the Border Collie and Lily the Sheltie

Religion: I'm an Evangelical Reformed Baptist, but we're currently attending (and will soon be members of) South Baton Rouge Presbyterian Church (PCA). For those of you who understand and are interested in such things, I'm not nearly as commited to dispensationalism as most Baptists are, but I'm also not nearly as covenental as my fellow Presbyterians would like. I'm somewhere in between, probably leaning a bit toward the dispensational end of the spectrum.

Born and Raised: Born in Monroe LA; raised in Bastrop - the hoppinest little town in northeast Louisiana

Siblings: One brother, three years my senior. He's an occupational therapist in Jackson, MS, and he just got his MBA from Belhaven College. I got the looks and he got the brains.

High School: Prairie View Academy, class of 1997

College: I graduated from Louisiana Tech University, with a BS in EE in 2001. As I said above, I'm now a Ph.D student at LSU. If all goes well, I will have my MS by the end of the spring semester 2007.

Music: There's lots of CCM out there that's just a bunch of garbage, so I'm no longer "Christian music only". Here are some of the artists to which I listen: Alison Krauss, Caedmon's Call, Derek Webb, Sandra McCracken, Rich Mullins, O'Bello, Jackie Wilson, Nat King Cole, The Eagles, Tony Joe White, Suzy Boggus, Diamond Rio.

Sports: I played T-ball and baseball from a very young age up until I was 14. I was pretty good at it from 10 on up. I sat the bench for two years in basketball, but I did keep stats for the football and basketball teams my senior year of high school. For professional sports, I'm moderately interested in baseball - go Cards!

Political Affiliation: I'm neither a Democrat nor a Republican. I'm registered as an independent voter.


Anything else that comes to mind, I will post as a comment or edit this post.

raised in Bastrop, huh? All the fumes from the paper mill didn't seem to do too much damage. But I only know you via the blogosphere...I'll have to verify that with some of your former colleagues.

Well, Jeff Price also spent quite a bit of time there and he came out alrig . . . well . . .

Some of my ex coworkers might spread vicious rumors. Be very cautious around solarbiscuit (aka Sean B.) and Brian M.

Hey I feel slighted. I would be more than happy to slander you anytime anywhere and I am better than Sean is at such skullduggery.

I had forgotton that Bellott migrated up 530 as well. You can believe anything Matt says about me so long as it's good. But when he starts waxing strong on my gross incompetance, that's when you can do your Bill Lumbergh impression.
