JRP is the initials of one Joe Pranevich of Watertown, Massachusetts.

By day, I'm a development and operations manager for Lycos and Ybrant Digital. By night, I'm a freelance writer who has done a decent amount of (paid and unpaid) writing about Linux, especially the Linux kernel, the Bible, as well as other topics.

I also know too much about anime and manga (especially work by Akira Toriyama), computer lore, animation in general but especially The Lion King, Star Trek, and many other things.
