My FamiLAB Status

• Booster Member
• Ops Team Member
• Wiki Project Manager
• FamiLAB Newsletter Editor-in-Chief (Newsletter coming soon)
• Theater Discussion Night (TDN) Co-Founder and Event Host

• Booster Member

Being a Booster member simply means I pay $100 per month instead of $50, I'm able to sponsor a Maker level member or donate the extra money to other funds, and I'm allowed to use a second member storage bin in the warehouse.

• Ops Team Member

As an Ops Team Member I volunteer to handle different tasks to help maintain the lab, do some supply shopping, do some correspondence and other tasks to keep the lab running as efficiently as possible with other team members. I'm also the one who empties the cigarette butt disposal bucket outside next to the stairs.

• Wiki Project Manager

Wiki Admin (one of a several)

As the Wiki Project Manager, I simply guide and encourage it's updating with continued contributions with other editors.

I also create, delete and update many pages that aren't handled by others.

• FamiLAB Newsletter Editor-in-Chief

More information can be found at: FamiLAB Newsletter

The idea is to bring the status of the lab to anyone who's interested. It will be in print and online. It will feature basic articles about the lab and bring other information to the members in an easy to read format.

• "Theater Discussion Night": - Co-Founder of "Theater Discussion Night" with Co-Founder Dustin Cox

The origin of the event was an idea from Dustin Cox for an event showing classic and 80's era Sci-Fi movies. Lloyd also enjoys Sci-Fi movies from the same era.

More information about these events here: Theater Discussion Night

This event is held on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of every month in the classroom. Please see the FamiLAB calendar to see exact dates.

• Popcorn Machine

Lloyd also owns the popcorn machine in the Laptop Bar. It was purchased for use in FamiLAB only. It's not to be removed from FamiLAB without his permission.

He retains ownership for repair and maintenance of the machine.

More information will be posted soon regarding proper use of the machine with instruction for ease of use.

Hobbies

• Making "Half-Life 2" single-player custom maps. It's just a hobby since he doesn't know how to make professional maps and never wishes to make it a job.
• Working on the FamiLAB wiki. Yes, it's a hobby for me since I enjoy working on it.
• Collecting movies, which goes with my events here: Theater Discussion Night
• Running the Theater Discussion Night is also a hobby for me because it's a fun event.
• Collecting hats, I have over 30 so far.

Random Data

• Appreciates animals, especially cats.
• Is the 'parent' (not owner) of a cat named Jack (named after Jack Nicholson). I don't believe people should "own" a pet.

We merely care for them as guardians and adoptive parents to give them high quality of life.

My cat "Jack", he's the other part of my mental illness treatment program. Five minutes of holding him is worth 800mgs of my main medication and works faster.

• Individualistic by nature. I don't lead or follow.
• Loves Halloween and B-movie horror movies, even the cheap ones because they're funnier than being scary.
• I'm an introvert, but I still socialize.
• I believe in myself. I don't need to believe in another person or being.
• Smokes too much (cigarettes and cigars).
• Seriously hates the sun.
• Hates the color blue and pastels. Loves red, black and dark greys.
• Owns a reusable body bag, for those rare occasions.
• Collects hats (30 hats so far).
• Collects skulls (donations accepted)
• Personal belief system consists of an odd combination of Pantheism and LaVeyan Satanism.
• Believes in a balance of dark and light in life generally and personally. Dark doesn't mean evil, it's just not part of the light which most people live in.
• Just to be honest, I do suffer from a mental illness called "schizoaffective disorder depressive type" which is fairly well managed with medication.
