I'm Realkyhick, short for "Real Kentucky hick," a nickname someone hung on me in my current home of Birmingham, Alabama. I'm a former newspaper editor, now back in the computer programming and consulting business — wait, hold on a minute, now I'm back in the newspaper business again, at least part time, with the newspaper I used to compete against. (Well, that was interesting.) I work with Assemblies of God Bible Quiz, among many other things.

Around Birmingham I'm sometimes known as "The Loudest Man in High School Sports" because of my work with various private Christian schools as a public address announcer for their football, basketball and other sports games, primarily for the now-closed Garywood Christian School.

On Labor Day 2007 I founded the Wikipedia Intensive Care Unit. It's a place to "heal" articles about subjects that are probably notable, but the article themselves face imminent deletion for other reasons.

I'll decorate this page with more stuff when I get a chance.
