My name is James Nealon, aka Kaobear. Born in1980. I was born in the semi-lovely city of Los Angeles, California, but I have lived all over the United States, including Rochester, New York, Olathe, Kansas, and the very odd, and lovable little town of Brockport, New York. I am now a resident of Montreal, Quebec, Canada and am incredibly happy with my life.

I attended, for an incredibly short time mind you, the SUNY Brockport, however, due to the many injuries that life throws at us, I did not even finish the first year of my enrollment.

I have two children, ages 5 and nearly 2, and they are the most wonderful things that has ever been created on this planet, or any other of course.

I am addicted to Strategy Games, such as Risk, Stratego, Axis & Allies, and all of the Sid Meier computer games, with my favorites being Pirates!, Civilization III, and Alpha Centauri. This is a passion that my wife thankfully shares with me.

Here is my PGP key.

I have never been a huge fan of bragging. I can speak more than what is here, however, I cannot communicate effectively in those languages here on Wikipedia, so I tend to just leave them at the house if you understand my vaguely construed metaphor. I make an effective website in a variety of languages, however, when it comes down to it, we all have to construct them with html in the end don't we? I am a tremendous Firefox fan and have been since the very beginning of the project. (Firebird for those of you who remember, or, dare I say it, Phoenix?)

I found the site a few years ago while researching an issue for a friend and instantly fell in love with all of the nerdy goodness. I am nowhere near an experienced user and would call myself a mid-level beginner at most. I do most of my edits using the AutoWikiBroswer and make a great many small edits as opposed to a handful of large, possibly incorrect edits.

Believing that plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, I have stolen most of the wikitext for this page from others, including User:Crazycomputers, and User:JordanSamuels who seem to be experts in this sort of thing.
