Welcome to the rantings of zHobbes

About Me

Hello, My name is Mike and I live in rural New York. Seriously, I live smack dab in the middle of the state so I am far from a NY city boy. I was born and raised in this charming little city and I remain here today with my adopted son, Michael Thomas. I am a Computer Scientist for the Federal Government (you can call me Agent Hobbes, if you like) and have been working in this field for about the last 10 years. Prior to that I did some time teaching at the local Jr. High here and also at a couple of the local colleges (Computers of course). I live with my son in a modest apartment of a two family home which is directly below the apartment where I was raised. My family still live in the apartment above me and we are all still very close. I guess you could call me a geek since I don't get out much, other than work, and spend most of my time either on the computer, watching my HDTV, or playing Playstation. If you'd like to get to know me better, feel free to drop me an e-mail sometime or something! :)

My Interests

Well I am interested in keeping my job so that I can keep food on the table and cool gadgets in my home to play with! I am also interested in outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, and camping. I used to be really good at ceramics, but have not been able to find the time to do stuff since I got my HDTV in the house :)

I'd like to meet:

Truthfully, and don't laugh about this, but I think I would like to meet an Alien! Seriously, I would love to ask them if they were responsible for the pyramids and those cute crop circles we see every now and then. I would then ask them why, with all of their knowledge and technology, do they keep coming to earth and giving us anal probes!!?? I mean, is the human anus that fascinating to them? I would think they should be experimenting with our brains or something that they could actually learn something from... but I digress... I guess it would also be cool to meet Donald Trump because I really think he has a good head on his shoulders (too bad he don't also have good hair on his head) :)

Music:

I guess you could call me ecclectic (just don't say it to my face). I love all types of music and find myself listening to almost anything. I usually have all the latest tunes downloaded onto my portable Zen player (thats Dell's version of the iPod for all you non-geeks out there)and listen to them daily.

Movies:

I think I rent at least two movies a week (DVDs) and go to the cinema about once every other month or so. The last film I saw was Eragon (of course... see geek mention above). I went with my son who thought it was awful because the book was way better. I didn't read the book (since I don't like to read them- see below) and was perfectly satisfied with the movie :)

Television:

Oh don't get me started! I am a TV junkie! I swear that I watch more hours of TV than just about any other thing I do, including sleeping. I am addicted to comedies, Sci-Fi, and even (gasp) reality TV shows! Apprentice and Amazing Race are my favorites. I think the most kik-ass new show this year is Heroes! I do tend to stay clear of the new genre of prime time game shows, but just about anything else is watchable to me. I also like all the Fox news shows. O'Rielly is a Hoot!

Books:

I don't like reading all that much, but will pick up a book every now and then if I get really bored. I tend to like to watch my literature on TV rather than read it in a book :) I think the last book I read was "New Rules" by Bill Mahar, which I found hysterically entertaining!

Heroes:

I think Superman is a better hero than Batman because he is made of steel and batman looks a bit queer in his black tights. Superman also has a great show on CW this year! Seriously though, I would have to say that the people I look up to today are the ones that tell the truth, try to help others, and always put the fate of others before their own. I would have to say that the men and women fighting in Iraq right now are my current heroes.

My Blog

Blog .2 about nothing in particular

Hey everyone; Well after setting up this blog this past weekend, I have taken the advice from others and have worked on "pimping" it to look better.  I have added some better graphics, background...
