Hello and welcome

Hi, Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Matt Ownby and I am what one may call a 'geek'. I love computers, and have loved them since I was about 7 years old, starting with an Apple ][+ in 1982. I love to program computers and I do so professionally. I love nostalgia. I love video games. For some reason, I become obsessed with laserdisc arcade games in the early 80's and in 1999 I started work on a laserdisc arcade game emulator called Daphne which has turned into a huge (and hugely successful) project. I am also a musician. I've played the piano since I was 6. I have a good ear and can play many songs on the piano just by hearing them. I'm also a pretty smart guy, and I don't say this to be arrogant or proud, but to give some context and credibility to my further posts. And finally, I am a very religious person. I'm a proud member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Some people call me a Mormon, I prefer to use the term LDS, but I will answer to either. I also consider myself to have a favorable opinion of science. Some people feel that science and religion conflict, I think that correct religious ideas are compatible (and must be compatible) with correct scientific ideas. My goal for this blog is to explain the world through my paradigm, using religious ideas, scientific ideas, and just plain outright logical reasoning.
