About Me

Jan 26th, 2008 by Rick

I am Rick Rottman, and I am a 43-year old guy living in central Maryland. I am an electronics technician and I work for a company that manufactures three-phase AC drives. I am into all sorts of geeky stuff. I mostly blog about the dumb stuff that I happen to find interesting. My interests can be all over the place and my blog reflects this.

I spent close to 10 years in the United States Air Force as an avionics technician. I worked on electronic countermeasures equipment.

In November 2006, I noticed a t-shirt at my local Wal-Mart that featured an image that looked an awful lot like a certain skull image used by the German SS in World War Two. I took a picture of the shirt with my cell phone camera and decided to blog about it. The story went viral and I got 85,000 hits the first full day the post appeared on my blog. I think I had a total of 30 visitors the day before. The story was then picked up by the AP and it began to appear on various mainstream media news outlets. I was interviewed by my local TV station and that interview appeared on CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News.
