My name is B.K. (Ben) DeLong. I'm a married, 30-year old, spiritual, environmentally-conscious, progressive-liberal, as well as a music-loving motion-picture enthusiast, and a hacker-wannabe, Web geek author and techno-futurist.

I live in Salem, Massachusetts where I reside in 1/4 of a beautiful Federal Colonial-style house with my wife, son, a cat (Nessa, a tiny, dark gray/tabby Maine Coon) and 1 dog (Sierra, a Blue Merle Miniature Australian Shepherd).

I am a proud father of William Kirk DeLong, named after his maternal great-grandfather and a little boy who is growing up fast. He has his own Web site which I update for now but when he's older it will get turned over to him.

I am a passionate researcher and often seek the full story behind any subject that catches my interest - and I'm very good and finding that knowledge too.
