Burton Speaks

Irony: i·ro·ny n The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

I'm Burton from Portland, Oregon, United States. I'm 33 and live in the Portland Metro Area. I work hard. I drive fast. I play often. I'm sarcastic, appreciate irony, and find humor in even the darkest of events. I'm non-traditional. I question authority. I'm a know-it-all and a planner. And most days, I wake up thinking the world is full of fundamentally good people... and have a lot of problems when I'm proven wrong. Any other questions?

Who's the man?

Tuesday, November 22, 2005

I took a class from Red Hat last week called the RH300, which is a rapid-track week-long intense course with the goal of earning the RHCE certification from the test at the end. The test was one of the hardest things I've done in a long time - mentally challenging and physically exhausting.

But I passed. I'm the man.
