"bahua" is the online handle of John Kelly. Don't ask him what "bahua" means. John Kelly is a regular guy from Illinois, currently located in sunny downtown Kansas City, Missouri. He enjoys getting out and about in KC, finding new beers on tap, and making a never-ending string of code and layout updates to his website.

He works as a Unix system administrator and systems programmer for a large Kansas City-based corporation that specializes in facilitating financial transactions.

John enjoys traveling, watching the lamentable Royals play, brewing beer, playing old nintendo games from before you were born, walking and riding the bus to get around, and getting upset about the state of the world.

John registered his first domain name(johnrules.com) in 1999, and ran a sometimes website off his PC running Windows 98. He wanted bahua.com, but it was owned by some metal company in China. In 2002, the Chinese lost the domain for a split second, and John snatched it up. Since summer of that year, bahua dot com has grown to what you see here. As an educational pursuit, John wrote every segment of the html and backend to this site, and finally has it working the way he wants. Almost.

If you want to contact John, feel free. He has accounts on Virb, Slashdot, KCSkyscrapers, Myspace, BeerAdvocate, Judy's Book, 30 Boxes, and other things he can't think of, right off. He also plays kickball at Mulkey Square Park on Thursdays, with the KC chapter of PlayCoEd.
