Amazing

Already this week, the Renaissance Man ...

Reached the summit of Mt. Wilson.
In Steel-toed work boots.
The resultant foot blisters have already submitted their sincerest apologies to him.

Won yet another 1st place in a Casino Hold-Em Tournament.
Shortly after compiling yet another critical DB @ his day job.

Won yet another ice hockey game w/ his Culver City "Green Team".
Shortly after running a few miles for fun.
Shortly after paddling for 1.5 hours w/ his dragon boat team, "The Space Dragons".

Welcome

Welcome to the Un-official Fan Site of James "Renaissance Man" Schaaf, known in other prominent circles as "The Fighting Algorithm" & "The Navigator".

This site will chronicle a Modern Day Renaissance Man's daily activities through the eyes of two absorbed fans ... activities standard to him, extraordinary for others.

Wish us luck. It will not be easy for insipid commoners to shadow greatness.

A paraparrazi sighting @ his workplace.

The Renaissance Man is said to spend his pedestrian hours as a noted software engineer responsible for the design and construction of databases for automotive navigation devices.

"Janie" has been a devoted fan of the Renaissance Man for over 8 years. She is one of the distinguished few who have had the honor of hosting him for dinner, an occurrence insignificant to him but fatefully life-changing for her. Since that night of conversation ranging from poker pot odds to Machiavelli's secret 10 principles, she has re-focused her life's passion from her own flesh-and-blood children to chronicling the Renaissance Man's every movement. "Janie" is a horror film writer & producer by day.

"Werner" has long been a furtive apostle of the Renaissance Man who has just recently declared the need to publicly unveil his zealot admiration for all things Jim Schaaf. His epiphany surfaced through personal life events that unbosomed a need to show that extraordinary achievements & beings do exist in our dark, dark world. He is dedicated to sharing this principle through the circadian activities of the Renaissance Man. "Werner" is an entrepreneur pursing a "Mother's Milk" brand by day.
