Impact Juggling Friends
Matthew Arsenault Matt likes to get up at 4:30am on a snow day and drive to Woburn to reboot a phone network.  While he is administering systems late at night he watches movies with the projector in the big conference room.  And he never checks personal email from a work computer.  Call him captain. 
Niki Dobbyn Niki is the proud owner and self-employed artist behind Click-On-Nik.com.  She is monstrously talented and damn cute - not to mention a demon on the ivories. The most prominent of my very few roller blading companions, Niki will forever be known as the author of, "Brought to you by the self-employed", a phrase that rings true in my head when I commit ludicrous amounts of time to silly projects.  Browse her portfolio and be amazed! 
Todd Neufeld Aside from being a world class balloon twister and patent lawyer Todd is a passionate entrepreneur.  Todd passed up law internships in favor of building his now flourishing balloon business.  Thankfully his wife is using her law degree ... someone has to put food on the table.  Check out his blog.   
Brian "Bravo" Brian is a circus freak, and that's putting it politely.  Just kidding, he is as benevolent as he is entertaining.  He once gave up a dog, a house, and a very successful business just to make someone he once loved happy.  Now that his computer is fixed he has stopped talking to me :) 
The Jakester Jake is an insanely talented juggler, unlike the two above.  When I met Jake he was riding a unicycle backwards in an MIT basement and I thought, "little punk kid is good".  Well it's been many years an we crossed paths again, this time at BU, and not only is he considerably better, he's also a decent fellow.   
Shawn Schaffert Shawn likes riding motorcycles, banjo music, and sleeping on the floor.   He is also the target for most of the Nebraska quips on this site.  Hopefully, Shawn will someday come to Boston - the folk capital of the world, oh, and the place where the girls are just as wholesome as he is. 
Courtney Sharp Cory could most recently be found on five IM sessions, a dozen message boards and playing two simultaneous games of quake.  Ohhh, that's right, he has a job now.  In that case, in his free time Cory enjoys chasing Amy or is it Jiajia?  Either way, the man loves a good challenge.  And, his favorite show is, "Diagnosis ... !!!"  
Johan Vanderhaegen Johan is from Belgium, that makes him very smart.  He is also a wonderfully caring, passionate and dedicated individual as is his equally talented fiancée, err girlfriend can attest.  It also bears mentioning, he is the ISO, resident genius in my old house in CA. 
Marvin Tse Marvin was one of my first engineering friends.  Even though I only attended university with him for 1 year, we have kept in touch and made many plans to meet ... I'm sure someday we will have a grand reunion.  In the meantime I keep abreast of his goings on through his superb (now defunct) website.
Steven Pemberton Steve is a colleague from Berkeley.  He was my outlet for serious pool; he provided the friendly competition that I missed from my days in Bean town.  Now he is down in New Mexico pondering what new brain twister to put on his website.
