EMAIL NOTICE: Due to an immense amount of unsolicited commercial email received at this account, I have engaged some seriously draconian mail filtering. At this time, any email containing an HTML attachment is discarded. This may pose a problem to senders using Microsoft Outlook or other WYSIWYG email clients that support HTML in email.

To get my attention, please send email in ASCII only. Pull up my address in your address book and turn off the "Send as HTML" button. This is the biggest reason your email is being ignored. (Of course, the second biggest reason would be that your mail is uninteresting. Try to work on that, too.)

Who I Am

I was born 7 February 1964, 8:55 am PST (UT-8) at (the old) St. Vincent's Hospital in Portland, Oregon (now a vacant lot except for the part of the building they can't take down because it's holding an unstable hill in place. Too bad. It's in a rich neighborhood, too.) So, I'm too young to be a baby-boomer and too old to be in Generation X. Go figure.

I am working for Metro Transit

The spelling of my last name is uncommon, but not rare. I do get a little nervous if you misspell it, though.

Here is a list of spelling variations from the U.S. Census Bureau:

    Name           Freq% Cum.Freq Rank
    ---------      ----- -------- -----
    OSBORNE        0.027  32.842    407
    OSBORN         0.014  41.208    834
    OSBURN         0.003  59.859   3777 <-- This is correct!
    OSBOURNE       0.001  72.857  11805
    OSBOURN        0.001  76.379  16790
    AUSBURN        0.000  81.484  29355
    OSBURNE        0.000  87.568  61410
