Keystone is a reference to the ski resort in Colorado, a normal addition to
my alias if Lemur is already taken. Lemur comes from the animal, and its
base (Wikipedia): The word "lemur" derives from the word
*lemures<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemures>
* (ghosts or spirits) from Roman
mythology<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_mythology>
 and was first used to describe a slender
loris<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slender_loris> due
to its nocturnal <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturnality> habits and
slow pace, but was later applied to the primates on Madagascar. (Though I
assure you I don't move at a slow pace.)

I currently live in Joplin Missouri, so the nearest area is Tulsa Oklahoma
about 2.25 hours away. I'm actually currently working on getting a Ruby
group together in the area in relation to a class I'll be teaching on Ruby.

At this point I'm looking to just find professional conferences where I can
meet other people, especially ones with vastly more experience than myself.
It's always entertaining to meet someone like that with more experience,
just to get their insight and wisdom on the subject.

Thanks for your time in responding,

Brandon Weaver
