Rob hasn't written anything for this section yet, so this is Amy. I am Rob's tongue-in-cheek "partner in crime" and webmaster, which has taken on a much more legally involved role recently. Rob is a kind person. Many people know him by "reputation" only. Well, I know Rob, and not by anyone's nebulous interpretation of what a reputation might look like. I know he will not be lied about. I know he does not tolerate slander or libel. I know he is a man of strong convictions that are very much his own. Most people do not have the spine or the moral compass that he has, and the stalwart belief in oneself to back up his opinions.
Explanation of the above pictures:
I was binge-watching Breaking Bad on Netflix. (the whole show was complete, and I figured I would see what all the hype was about) I forget which season Walter White went through chemo and then grew the goatee, but the realization that, "I am dating Walter White," was kind of a slap on the forehead. Unlike some denizens of Dresden, Rob has NEVER manufactured meth, or any other drug. He does, however, share some of Walter White's personality traits. He appreciates quality workmanship. He means what he says. He is a production whiz and can streamline almost any process. All good qualities, I say.
The story behind the quote is as follows: A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me?!? NO! I am the one who knocks!

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle: the more precisely the position of some particle is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known
Stay with me here, this is important stuff. Walter White and Rob could both share the nickname of Heisenberg, from Breaking Bad. The more people think that they "know" Rob, the more he will surprise them. He has a documented high school diploma, and a near-staggering intellect that I would not want to be on the wrong end of. Many people that I interact with on a daily basis, who have achieved post-secondary (college) degrees and beyond, are not as well-rounded, well-read (he's read a LOT), or well-spoken. I know Rob Ripple, and he can argue politicians to a baffled standstill and give lawyers something to ponder. When it comes to convincing arguments that are well-reasoned and insightful, Rob's the guy.
