About Me, That Guy -   Hi, I'm Mike.   But why is my username 'Pylon' you ask? Well, I got the nickname from people severely butchering my last name. It's really a long story, but in the end the nickname stuck and I've been using it since. As for me - Mike - the guy behind the username, I enjoy a random smattering of activities. These might include collecting militaria from World War II, aviation, world travel, cartooning, volunteer work and a myriad of other things. I am a graduate of Siena College with a double Bachelor's degree in history and French. I'm a Captain in the US Air Force Auxiliary, an FCC licensed Technician class Amateur Radio Operator, as well as a C-172 solo pilot. Oh, I'm 25, enjoy fine food, and profess Roman Catholicism. Since I am nowhere's near being able to have a homenode picture, and to satisfy the serious demand for such information, and for other amazing facts about my mundane life, see my website: http://www.kieloch.net

I haven't been active on E2 in the last few years only because of lack of time. Unfortunately, I rarely get the chance to log in and read vast amounts of nodes like I used to. Sooner or later, I promise... I'll come back. =)

Attention Noders in Need of Votes: I'm finding myself with more and more votes (and C!s) to spend, and less and less time to scan the nodegel. So, in typical lazy fashion, I'll get you to do it for me. If you have some writeups that you think could use some upvotes, and they're factual with at least several paragraphs of information, just /msg me. Noders of all levels are welcome. Just send me hardlinks to any deserving writeups. I'll vote on them the next time I stop in, and promise I'll only offer upvotes or advice for improvement (if I can't consciously upvote it). You'll get no downvoting from me. If it's exceptional noding, I may even give it a shiny C! FREE VOTES, COME AND GET YOUR VOTES.

Random mail is a beautiful thing

    Nodes to Node

    In the Event of an Emergency:

    Exits are located at the front and rear of the homenode. In the event of emergency, the exit signs will light up. While the homenode is in session, we ask that there is no smoking, talking, eating, urinating, jazzercizing, or excommunication. Please keep your arms and legs inside the homenode at all times. Offer not valid in Puerto Rico, Libya, and Utah. Many will enter, few will win. Void where Permitted.

    Don't ask me why some of these are bookmarked. Some are outstanding nodes that everyone should read, some are bookmarked so I can C! them if I ever get the privilege, some deserve to be nuked. If you click on one and wonder what the hell I was thinking, well... wonder
