Welcome to Spearfishing in South Florida....
I Love Spearfishing, and the spearfishing in South Florida is pretty
damned good. As you can already tell, Jeffrey Drew Jenkins has some pretty
strong opinions about everything. Here you will find all you need to know about Jeffrey
Drew Jenkins of Boca Raton, Florida.
Since 1997 (my god, that's five years!) this website has been proclaiming the
deeds and adventures of JeffWorld. The center of jeffjenkinis-ism.
The repository, access point, and true original source of all things Jeff Jenkins. Here you can begin your voyage of discovery about me, Jeffrey
Drew Jenkins: my education at The University of West Florida, links to things I like to do,
and stuff I want to share with you, the reader, about my hobbies, my life,
and my
career. Also, of course, the obligatory photos of me, me diving, fish I
have caught. There's quite a bit about South Florida and why I really like
living here. After all, Jeff Jenkins thinks South Florida is paradise!

Should
you wish to send an actual letter on a piece of paper, mail it to 825 NW 13th
Street #108, Boca Raton, FL 33486. I used to publish
my icq number, but in all fairness, I don't crap around with icq much any more, cause I actually have a life. Regarding any email you
wish to send: Remember, marriage proposals from attractive oriental women are opened
first!
Lets start with the interest that presently consumes me: DIVING, and in
particular SPEARFISHING. In March of 1997 I was certified as an Open
Water diver, followed by a PADI specialty Underwater Hunter, and then Advanced
Open Water Diver. In 1999 I finished the PADI Nitrox Specialty, and that's as
far as I've gone so far. I generally go diving at least once a month, and
sometimes almost once a week...
Some day, I'll be a PADI Master Scuba diver, and then I'll be a real know-it-all and can
just kick back and gloat. The
important thing is, weekends find me hovering over a wreck or reef,
looking for fish that need spearing! Of course, I'm always looking for
lobsters too, as well as any weird stuff I might happen to find on the
bottom of the sea. The list of weird things I have found include boat
anchors (3), beer cans, conch shells, encrusted fishing rods, bottles, and a
plastic trash can. My favorite boat is called the Miss
Conduct, leaving
out of Pompano Beach, with the capable
Capt. Conrad Nix at the wheel. If
you've seen Jaws, you remember the character of Quint the charter captain.
Well, that's Conrad. The Miss Conduct is a 6-pack, meaning only six
divers; no rules, just right. The truth
is, once you have been out a few times in a smaller boat, with 4 or 5
divers instead of 15, you will not go back to a larger boat...
Other compelling interests include automating my entire household with the
X-10 system. If you have never heard of the incredible X-10
system, let me tell you, it rules. Actually, I'm sure you have
heard of them, because they have possibly the world's most annoying pop-up ad on
the worldwide web. X-10 is a standard for sending signals
through the wiring of your house or condo. These signals connect special
controllers that plug into your wiring. The controllers can turn lights on
and off, as well as dim them. They can also control fans, coffeepots, air
conditioners, or anything powered by AC current. So for example, you can
lie on the sofa and adjust and dim lighting and fans throughout the house.
The best thing about X-10 is that it is modular and expandable...you can
start with one lamp controller and a remote and build up from there. But
wait, there's more! You can also add a timer, so for example at 6:15 the
lights go on in the bathroom, and at 6:30 the coffee machine kicks on. You
won't have to worry about leaving the lights or coffee on, 'cause you set
the timer to shut off everything at 7:00 a.m.
My love for the X-10 system was so strong and true that I finally had to
build a page of homage to it. That page can be found in the links to the
left...
Other things I enjoy are videoconferencing, saving money and fixing my bad
credit (it can be done if you know how).
I also have included my resume, so if there's a better place for me in
your organization, let me know! I'm always looking to learn and grow. My
occupational history includes both call center operations management and
Computer Network Administration. I've been supporting myself for the last
few years with my own consulting business,
Computer Problems Resolved.
Oh yeah....in case you are wondering where you heard the music...it's the
theme from Seinfeld....
