About
This is the homepage for James Brokaw. I'm a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy, currently stationed in Washington State. I'm a avowed snow lover, part-time ski instructor, and year-round backcountry enthusiast. The header photo was taken of me atop Cowboy Mountain. Other hobbies include hacking, juggling, and generally being geeky.
This page exists primarily to serve as a homepage and link list for my web server, but it's set up as a blog, and I'll post interesting thoughts and ideas here.

My cat chewed through the cable of my Guitar Hero World Tour bass pedal. While there is a cheat code that automatically plays the pedal as required, and thus lets me continue playing, it does mean I can’t earn any cash for playing songs. And with replacement pedals selling for $50 on eBay I couldn’t bear to buy a replacement. I could call Red Octane and try for a warrenty repair, but it’s really hard to explain how a cut cord is a manufacturing defect. So, I repaired pedal, and took photos in case anyone else has the same problem.

So I got word today that the Navy has decided to let me stay in, despite my pacemaker. This is good news. Who wants to lose thier job two days before Christmas?
