Joseph D Hendrix (born February 25, 1984) is the third and final child Deborah Lee Hunter and David Morgan Hendrix. His parents were divorced shorty before he was born. His mother and two older brothers moved from Michigan to his childhood home just south of Xenia, Ohio. Both his parents remarried and each parent had two more children.

Etymology
Joseph means "God shall provide." I was born in St. Joseph Hospital. My paternal grandfather's first name was "Joe."

David means "beloved." My father's first name is David.

Hendrix is another spelling of Hendricks (which, by the way, people are always misspelling it as), which is short for Hendricksen. Hendricksen means "Son of Henry," and, where " Henry" means "king," thus making it mean "son of the king." "Hendrix"/"Hendricks"/"Hendricksen" come from "the pre 7th century German personal name 'Heim-ric', meaning 'home rule.'"

Understanding that God is King, "Hendrix" can be understood to mean His son and thus, putting the names together, "Joseph David Hendrix" means "God will provide for His beloved son."

Personal Philosophies
My opinions and ideas on things are in a constant state of flux. They are extremely dependent on new information, data, and realizations.

My core philosophy is that anything I know may be wrong. This extends even to simple things, like "2+2=4", although I do find that unlikely. It also extends to itself - it is possible that everything I know is not wrong.

Theology
I believe in the essential elements of the Nicene Creed and Apostles' Creed - that there is one God, in the form of a Trinity. I'm not sure exactly what the Trinity is - the creeds state "God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit." I'm not sure if God is Trinity because that's just how he is or if that's how he chooses to be. Any attempt to explain the Trinity without inventing words - words such as consubstantial or even Trinity (which itself is an invented word - the concept but not the word exists in the Bible) - always fail. For instance, there's modalism, where God takes on one role at a time.

I do not believe the Bible to be inerrant or infallible in that it is free of error. It can be easily seen just by comparing the first two chapters of Genesis. The first chapter people are created on the sixth day ("Then God said: Let us make human beings in our image, after out likeness" Genesis 1:26). Not this is after God created plants on the third day ("Then God said: Let the earth bring forth vegetation" Genesis 1:11). In the second chapter, God creates the first man before any plants ("When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens - 5there was no field on earth and no grass of the field had sprouted, for the LORD God had sent no rain upon the earth and there was no man to till the ground" Genesis 2:4-5). I do think it is inspired by God, in particular the Holy Spirit. I'm not sure if other Holy Works, such as the Quran or Book of Mormon, are inspired as well.

The fact that there are many Christian denominations reminds me the the story of the Tower of Babel. I think there is a reason they exists, even if it makes no sense to us, in a similar reason as to why many languages exist.

I think most miracles have a rational explanation, but that they are miracles nonetheless. If God can do something within the rules of His Creation, then that is the way he will do it.

Political
I'm Libertarian, meaning I believe in freedom. Essentially, I don't think the government should tell people what to do or how to live their lives. I'm a minarchist, which means minimum government, as opposed to an anarchist, which means no government. I don't think government is necessary, but rather inevitable - if the people don't form a government, then there will always be someone, some bully or group of bullies, that will try to impose their will on everyone else.

I take the rights listed from the United States Declaration of Independence - Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness - as if the order was intentional. That is, everyone has the right to life. Everyone has the right to liberty, so far as it does not restrict the life of others. And everyone has the right to the pursuit of happiness, so far as it does not restrict the liberty and life of others. For instance, you are not free to kill, and you cannot keep someone a slave if it makes you happy.

Science
For every experiment, there is an infinite set of variables. Most of these variables are uncontrollable and change at every repeated experiment. For instance, each time someone does the same experiment, they're doing it at a different time, the Earth has changed in its orbit, and a different set of neutrinos are going through the experiment and experimenter. Most of the time, these variables do not change the outcome of a repeated experiment. But every now and then, they will - for instance, a neutrino might collide with the experiment, causing an unexpected and (almost) unrepeatable outcome.

Rules
I believe in treating everyone with respect, regardless if they deserve that respect.

Three Rules for telling a joke

 * 1) Never laugh at your own joke.
 * 2) Never explain a joke.
 * 3) If the joke is not funny, pretend as if it wasn't a joke to begin with.

Graduated August 2005

Xenia High School
Attended school here from eleventh grade until I graduated with honors in 2012. "Graduated with honors" mostly means I have a golden sticker on my diploma that says "With Honors."

I actually started at Sinclair while I was in high school (senior year I believe). Really, it was just one class that was a part of an engineering class I took both my junior and senior year.

Central Junior High School
I attended this school from seventh grade through ninth grade. In the seventh grade I was in honors math, but felt I could be in the more advanced math. In the final quarter of the year, I was both in seventh-grade math and eight-grade math. I "failed" eight-grade math with a B, but was allowed to take ninth-grade math (Algebra I) in eight grade anyway.

A year or so after I completed ninth grade, Central Junior High School was renamed Central Middle School.

Cox Elementary School
I attended this school from kindergarten to sixth grade. I was in the XTAR program starting in the fourth grade. Coincidentally, I got my first "B" in fourth grade - before that I got only "A's" or, if the grading system did not use the normal letter system, whatever the highest mark was (I think it was "S" for Satisfactory in kindergarten).

FamilyTree Web App & Database
FamilyTree is a simple web application using JavaServerFaces, Java EE, and a SQL database to load, display, edit, and examine a family tree. It was initially created as a project for CS7700 Advanced Database Systems at Wright State, and is currently being used for CS7720 Data Mining at the same school.

Jekyll Blog @ GitHub
Previously known a "Joe's GitHub Blog", I rebranded the site in August of 2019 to "JoeHx Blog" in addition to buying a domain from Google.

The old domain was https://hendrixjoseph.github.io/, which will provide a 301 redirect to the new domain at https://www.joehxblog.com.

Puppy Snuggles Blog
Puppy Snuggles is a blog / web design project. The blog part is just articles (blog posts) about dog-related topics. There's also a t-shirt section and a shopping section.

Defunct Projects
Some of the following no longer exist on the net. If they are on the Wayback Machine then they will link to the most recent page there.

Hendrices.com
. This mostly served as my blog from 2009 to 2012 (I think). The most recent archive in the Wayback Machine appears to be 2011, though.

Wright Engineering Council web page
I was the web director for most of the time I was in "WEC" as well as the Treasurer or "Director of Finance" for a single school year. This was during my undergrad at Wright State. Apparently the web site hasn't been updated since I graduated in 2012, and today's date is June 15, 2015. I probably could change it if I remembered how to log in. I also started the WEC Facebook page but it is pretty much dead now too. There is also a WEC Facebook group that I am a member of, but I did not create it.

Joe Hendrix World
This was a simple portfolio page I made while I was still living at home (maybe still in high school even - Netcraft says that the date first seen - the url http://www.joehendrixworld.com - was October 2001). The site really wasn't at "www.joehendrixworld.com" but rather at "www.geocities.com/jhw45385". I used some free service that allowed me to have one domain with one page that could point anywhere.

Wayback Machine didn't seem to archive it -



Mentions in Publications
The complete quote seen at the top of this page is "The computational effort would have never been successful without the daily support of Joseph Hendrix whose programming and computer skills are the envy of all." When I interned at AFIT I helped the writer complete his master's. Supposedly he also submitted a paper with my name as one of the authors, but I have been unable to find that paper.
