I have a deep interest in cryptography. It pulls from a lot of my life -- from a love of mathemtics, computer sciences and a father who was a political science major. There really aren't too many fields that pull those three things together any better than that.
My goodness, no shortage of people that I would adore meeting. Most of them not so famous and not so known. Everyday people with interesting stories. It's amazing where you discover people you enjoy and from what walks of life they come.
I'll listen to anything once. I have some tendancies toward punk music (though Bad Religion taking the top). I also listen to Jazz, or more particular electro-jazz. I catch hell on occassion for very rarely picking American bands as my favorites.
While it's not a rare thing for a television to be on around me, it is rare for me to be watching it. For the most part it is company.
