About The Freak Parade

Welcome to The Freak Parade, the weblog of Nathan Stults, a .NET enthusiast and exotic animal trainer. I work and blog from a Navy spy- plane using an antiqueimage Apple iPhone (circa 1972) that I stole from a family of gypsies that used to sell trinkets at the public pool where my children take swimming lessons (the boy peeking out from the header of the blog is my son Ethan, peeking out of the swimming pool). While I did score an awesome, retro PDA for spy-plane blogging, I don’t recommend stealing from gypsies. I don’t have the heart to tell the whole story, but suffice it to say I’m blogging from 30,000 feet because of fear, not because I like the view.

So this is a technology blog, mostly. My interests follow my work – C#, SOA, Messaging, DDD and the .NET community at large. That is probably what you’ll read about if you want to subscribe, so if your interest in life is painting frescos on the backs of shaved cats or tattooing children from third world countries, or pretty much anything other than creating software using .NET, you probably won’t find much to write home about on this blog. I still urge you to subscribe, but warn you that you probably won’t want to read any of the posts.

 image Why The Freak Parade? Why not "The Curious Programmers C# Programming Blog About .NET Stuff and SOA and Things?" Wouldn’t that communicate your intention more clearly? Well, yes, it probably would, but I really like The Freak Parade. It is the title of a Big and Rich song (you can listen to it if you click here). I am not a country music fan, and was a bit shocked this came from Big and Rich, but there you have it. Anyway, my wife was watching YouTube videos about kittens (really) and this song was the background to a still photo montage of crazy cat photos. I registered the domain name right away, and here we are.

Besides, the human race could well be described as The Freak Parade, and perhaps even more so the segment of the Human Race I belong to, the computer programmers and technologists of the world, a very enthusiastic, obsessive, serious bunch of people that rarely smile except when we see t-shirts with obscure programming jokes nobody but us could ever understand (like There’s no place like 127.0.0.1, or There are 10 types of people in the world, those who can read binary and those who can’t).

Freaks I tell you.

Anyway, I suggest you subscribe if you haven’t already. Everything I have written and I everything I will ever write in the future is truly some of the most brilliant stuff ever put down on (virtual) paper. To miss out on any of it would be, and I don’t feel I’m exaggerating, a very valid reason to commit suicide.

So there you go. Subscribe to my blog, because otherwise you will die by your own hand. How is that for a value proposition?

    I bet you get asked this all the time, but are you interested in product development opportunities? I ask because we are always looking for strong developers like yourself who clearly have a deep understanding of SOA and the technologies under the SOA umbrella. I am naturally interested in your work on SimpleServiceBus, but would like to discuss more if you are so inclined.

    Please let me know if you'd like to talk.

    Thank you,

    Pete Klein

    I'm flattered, but I'm having the time of my life where I'm at :) I've heard great things about Neuron though, I hope to take it for a spin someday.
