All things geek. See below for details.
I'd like to meet:
Meh, whoever.
Music:
Sunny Day Real Estate, The Fire Theft, Jeremy Enigk (check out thier websites, I did 'em) always has a special place in my heart but if you ask me today what my favorite music is, I'll say I've mellowed out in my old age and anything done by Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon). If you like haunting beautiful acoustic sounds I strongly urge you to seek out his music and soak it in. He's in my opinion the most underrated musician out there today.
