I'm a part of the Maryland Crew contingent of the Slashdot Journal Circle.

I'm up here in Baltimore County... about 12 miles east north east of Baltimore City in central Maryland... only a few scant miles from the Chesapeake Bay.

There are quite a few of us in Maryland... I think 6 or 7 around the circle are.

    Depends on the tribe, I think. In West Papua (which is part of the Indonesian archipelago but would rather not be), they'll just chop your head off. Really. You'd be better off going to New Zealand and getting Maori tatts (or 'tuffy stickers' as they call them).
