About
July 1st, 2009
In my epic quest to become to the #1 Michael Conigliaro on The Internets, I discovered that there are a bunch of other Michael Conigliaros out there. For the sake of disambiguation, I am not:
- Michael Conigliaro – Managing Director at Skinetic MedSpa Systems
- Mike Conigliaro – Sports Director at WYOU in Scranton, PA
- Michael Conigliaro – President and Founder of AMIC Research, Inc.
- Michael Conigliaro – Vice-president of TWU Local 101
- Michael Conigliaro – Executive Leadership Developer at ValueWise Corporation
Instead of a long, pretentious autobiography, I think it would be more fun to just list a bunch of random facts about myself:
hi.
- In the real world, I’m just Mike (not Michael).
- I was born on September 4th, 1979.
- I am a system administrator and programmer living in New Haven, Connecticut.
- My primary professional interests are in the areas of infrastructure design and management (preferably in a Linux-centric environment).
- I enjoy programming, but I’d get bored if I had to do it for eight hours every day. Therefore, I tend to think of programming as just another (but very important) tool in my sysadmin arsenal.
- I’ve been an avid skateboarder (and occasional snowboarder) since 1991.
- I am a self-taught drummer, and I’ve been playing since about 1997.
- I’ve been a strict vegetarian since 1995. I don’t know if there’s a technical term for my particular “variety” of vegetarianism, but I try not to eat or wear anything derived from dead animals. This means I’ll drink milk and eat cheese, but I won’t wear things like fur or leather.
- Tony Conigliaro is supposedly a distant relative of mine. I don’t follow baseball at all, but this fact seems to be a big deal to people who do.
- I plan on owning a Lotus Exige someday.
I’ll write more about who I am later.
