Greetings all.  My name's Donovan, and am a Information Junkie.  As for what I contribute, I like to think I have some knowledge of a variety of subjects.  In my 37 years, I have been:

[[Busboy]] at a [[Country Club]].

A [[soldier]] in the [[United States Army]] for just over three years [[1988]]-[[1991]].  I worked on [[radar]]s for the [[MIM-23 Hawk|Hawk SAM system]].  I spent the First [[Gulf War]] in [[Germany]] guarding against possible [[terrorist]] attack with an empty [[M-16]].

Short Order Cook for the [[Checkers Drive-In]] chain.

Stock boy for [[Toys-R-Us]] in the [[Christmas]] season.

Manual Labor at a [[television]] repair shop.

Lazy College student at the [[University of South Alabama]].

14 Years at [[BellSouth]] (Now [[at&t]]) as a Service Tech (the guy who installs/fixes your [[POTS|home phone]]; 1 1/2 years), a Cable Splicer (the guy stringing wiring up the big stuff out at the street, to include [[fiber optic]] cables; 2 years), and now a [[Central Office]] tech (the guy who makes sure everything from your home phone to [[Optical Carrier|OC-192s]] gets out to the field techs).

7 years with the [[Society for Creative Anachronism]], much of it as our group's [[Herald]].

Active [[Role-playing games|Role Player]], was in the [[Collectible card game|CCG]] when [[Magic: The Gathering|Magic]] was a novelty, but moved on to [[Legend of the Five Rings|L5R]].  Still an active player (since 1990) in the [[Star Fleet Universe]].

Was a [[computer]] geek when I had my [[Vic-20]] and [[Commodore 64]], knew what I was doing on my [[Amiga]], but have drifted into the user caste as [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] has taken over.

Cynical [[Agnostic]] with an [[Atheism|Atheist]] father and a [[Neopagan|Pagan]] mother (separated long ago).

A moderate [[Liberal]] who would love to slap around the party leadership of both sides of the aisle at times.

Survivor of Hurricanes [[Hurricane Frederic|Frederic]], [[1997 Atlantic hurricane season#Hurricane Danny|Danny]], [[Hurricane Georges|Georges]], [[Hurricane Ivan|Ivan]], and now [[Hurricane Katrina|Katrina]].  Not to mention a dozen that I can't remember the name of.

And a general, all around, wannabe Know-it-All

Be well, and if you are ever around the Barony of the Osprey down in Meridies, look up Donovan Ravenhull and say hello.

On a secondary note, I am the step-son of [[Isaac Bonewits]] and I do patrol that page to eliminate any sign of obvious vandalism, but I will attempt to avoid violating Wikipedia policy in regards to this relationship.
