My name is Jeremy Whitlock and ThoughtSpark.org is my site. The purpose of this site is for me to share my opinion and my knowledge, if you want to call it that. To get to know each other a little better, I am a Software Architect for CollabNet, Inc. where I work on things like Subversion, AnkhSVN and other things. I'm also a huge open source advocate actively involved in, or have submitted accepted code to the likes of , Mercurial, CruiseControl, OpenEJB, Continuum and others.

During my personal time, I am a family man with a lovely wife and the coolest sons you'll ever meet. I enjoy many sports like snowboarding, baseball, football, cycling, hiking, camping and others. I guess my guilty pleasure is video games where I assume the identity "JCScoobyRS".
