I have lived in Frederick, Maryland since about 1991 with my wife and two kids (the kids came later.)  It is a nice town, but like every suburb around DC civilization is quickly taking over out here.  Frederick has a lot of neat places and companies, including (one of my favorites!)
Frederick Brewing Co. 
I believe in supporting local businesses, and I try to do my part. :-0  I also run BeerGeek.org.

I am a Linux fanatic, and support the concept of free software. If I had more free time, I would spend it porting Linux to new hardware (HP-PB maybe,) writing new software, and improving existing software and drivers for Linux. I have not found that perfect job of doing just that, yet.... but I'm looking

I run my own in house network with dedicated T1 lines to the Internet.  I have lots of Linux Servers running in my basement.  I used to try to keep up with the latest Linux kernels on my development i386 with 20 MB.  It was very slow by today's standards, but it was (as "Data" would say) fully functional. The compile times got so long for the current kernels that it took the fun out of it.

I now support about 50 Linux servers in Frederick and Northern VA area.
