I'm into Linux and Free / Open Source Software. I have very strong opinions on how software should operate and how it should be redistributed.
I love talking about people. Psychology, relationships, culture. I also love eating with people! It's such a personal experience.
In my spare time I'm into illusions (read: magic tricks). Mostly close-up and strolling card sleights.
I'm currently paying off a lot of debt incurred by purchasing my home entertainment system. However unwise that financial decision was, the fact is I love it. I love movies and video games and now I enjoy them in crystal clear quality on a large screen with surround sound. A little economic hardship is well worth it.
After reading the above paragraphs, you can guess I'm a big hit with the ladies. =)
I'd like to meet:
I like meeting people who...
...love to laugh. I love laughing myself and cannot stand humorless people. Please have a good sense of humor!
...are passionate about something. It doesn't really matter to me what you're into or if I don't share that interest - in fact, I would prefer meeting people with much different interests - but I love meeting passionate people. I like it when somebody is so enthusiastic about something that it makes me interested in it.
...are generous and compassionate. I'm really turned off by people who are stingy or selfish.
...are honest and straight-forward. You're not going to offend me, so just tell me what's on your mind.
...are intelligent and open-minded. But I'm also willing to take stupid and sexy. =D
Music:
Honestly, I think most people take music way too seriously. Usually I like fun and upbeat music, so a lot of the music I like is pop music. If you're a snob, deal with it.

Movies:
I like movies a lot, so mentioning every movie I've liked here would be stupid.
Instead, here are some movies that I own. I try not to buy movies that you can
just pick up at Blockbuster.
