I am a BIOS developer who likes to write tools and GAWK scripts.

I work so that I can afford to hike, bike, rappel/climb, camp, raft, houseboat and otherwise enjoy the amazing beauty that is the Utah desert.

Best site for Moab info: http://www.discovermoab.com/

Some good videos of the Moab area: http://www.go-utah.com/Moab/Travel-Video-Gallery/

If you want to try rock climbing, rappelling, or canyoneering in Moab, these guys are the best: http://www.cliffsandcanyons.com/

Hummer tours, rafting, horseback rides, hot air balloon rides, and such (nice video): http://www.moabadventurecenter.com/
