I hail from [[Wikipedia:Vero Beach, Florida|Vero Beach, Florida]], best known to most as victim of both [[Wikipedia:Hurricane Frances|Hurricane Frances]] and [[Wikipedia:Hurricane Jeanne|Hurricane Jeanne]] in mid-to-late 2004.
I'm in California. For the second time in my life. It may be like Mars, were I Michael Alfredo Garibadi. Take that as you may.
 
When not trying to write and publish my manuscripts, and aiming for a degree in computer science, I use whatever "spare" time I have to improve the ''Battlestar Galactica'' fanbase's online experience by working with the official [http://www.battlestarfanclub.com Battlestar Fan Club], as well as working to oversee project development of [http://www.frakmedia.net Frak Media Productions]'s web endeavors.


While I do prefer that you just contact me on my [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|talk page]], I can be contacted by clicking the "e-mail this user" link in the toolbox, itself being on the left margin of this page.
While I do prefer that you just contact me on my [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|talk page]], I can be contacted by clicking the "e-mail this user" link in the toolbox, itself being on the left margin of this page.


As for computing, I use a custom built, AMD-64 Debian Linux machine called "Zen". ("Zen" is the name of the computer that ran the ''Liberator'' on ''[[w:Blake's 7|Blake's 7]]''.) I did have a Toshiba laptop called "Orac" (yet another ''Blake's 7'' reference), but I no longer have it as I gave the computer to my father for his real estate business. Instead, I have a PowerBook G4 -- swearing off Windows-based machines for good.
At present, I have a MacBook Pro -- swearing off Windows-based machines for good, or so I hoped. I do use Windows machines here and there due to business reasons, but nothing beats a Mac in terms of ease of use.
 
I constructed a computer -- calling that one "Orac" as well -- that serves as a Linux based multimedia center, with all my music and movie collections, to be loaded on three 300 GB+ Western Digital hard drives.


I also have an XBox, XBOX 360, Playstation 2, Playstation Portable and, yes, a Nintendo 64 (for ''Goldeneye'', otherwise I would've sold it).
I also have an XBox360 for gaming. Having beaten ''[[w:Mass Effect 3|Mass Effect 3]]'', I mainly play ''[[w:Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3]]'' on XBox Live.

Joe Who?

Joe Beaudoin Jr. is the webmaster and head honcho for the Battlestar Wiki.

I am responsible for starting the beast you see before you now; all the contributors and visitors are responsible for the beast's development and continual growth.

Joe's Biography

I'm in California. For the second time in my life. It may be like Mars, were I Michael Alfredo Garibadi. Take that as you may.

While I do prefer that you just contact me on my talk page, I can be contacted by clicking the "e-mail this user" link in the toolbox, itself being on the left margin of this page.

At present, I have a MacBook Pro -- swearing off Windows-based machines for good, or so I hoped. I do use Windows machines here and there due to business reasons, but nothing beats a Mac in terms of ease of use.

I also have an XBox360 for gaming. Having beaten Mass Effect 3, I mainly play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on XBox Live.

P.S. Yes, you can edit my user page. I trust you. Besides, I can always undo your edits. :-)
