Hi folks, I've been around the forums for a little while and I've posted some but not a whole lot. My username used to be bowlhaircut, but over time I decided I didn't like it and angrysparrow kindly changed it for me.
Anyway, I never posted an introduction before so I think now is as good a time as ever: Hi I'm Ben, I live in Memphis Tennessee, and I like hammock camping. By day I'm a Java developer for a small software shop downtown where we work on a few e-commerce web applications and do some mobile application development here and there.
Most of my life I have lived in the tri-state area of Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. Around these parts is also where I have done almost most all of my camping and backpacking. I really enjoy going to Sipsey Wilderness, Savage Gulf area, and the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas. My wife and I just got back from a trip to Eagle Rock Loop there. She's a hanger too and I like that a lot.
I have met some of y'all at this year's Ozark Hang and I'm really looking forward to the upcoming gatherings at Meriwether Lewis and at the Walls of Jericho.
Just for fun here's some pictures and videos: Flickr collection and some Youtube videos
See you around!
