My other interests include playing pool, video games and scrabble; reading science fiction; watching movies; having bad taste in music; and bitching about living in a world apparently populated by mad fanatics with no sense of moral decency.

I am a member of The Philolexian Society, The Church of the Subgenius, and The Discordian Society, and The Libertarian Party.

My girlfriend, Anne, is currently attending medical school.

Little tidbits about me:

• I prefer UNIX for programming, but PC's for real work.
• I generally prefer chocolate to vanilla, except when it's ice cream or cake.
• I think a good thing to do on New Year's Day is to relax and watch a Star Wars movie.
• I dig the name "Cheesequake".
• I like Die Fledermaus.

• Peanut Butter Twix
• Tradewinds Iced Tea
• Ice Juicys
• Orbitz (can't seem to find them in NY anymore)

If you want to get me a present, any of the following would be more than acceptable:

• An 11 x 17 color laser printer.
• That full-size model of an X-wing they auctioned off at Neiman-Marcus.
• Anything that appeared in the original Star Wars.
• A 21" flat monitor.
• Privitization of the space industry.
• Harry Browne for President.
