About Me

Hmmm... what to write? I've got to think about this for a while. It's July 19th, 2006 at 7:02pm. Start the timer, and watch the calendar.Ok, I've thought of something! (It's August 5th, 2007, for the record) I'm not sure if I'm a procrastinator, or over-ambitious; Certainly, I wouldn't argue if you accused me of either. Regardless, I'm pretty sure that I want to be an astronaut when I grow up. IF I grow up, of course.In the meantime, I work from home and dabble in culinary art.And I've got a cat.And a baby boy! :-)

My Interests

Too many; I get easily consumed by new hobbies, yet I never delve deeply. Some of the longer-lasting activities: Cycling, woodworking, guitar, violin, rocketry, gardening, auto racing, kayaking, and script-writing. I'd love to try out playing drums, concrete sculpting, boat-building, and game programming. (Just to name a few)

I'd like to meet:

Old friends & new friends :-)Why do people delete Tom (as a friend)? He seems friendly to me. And, he makes up 10% of my friends list.

Music:

Don't get me started- I LOVE music. Currently, I'm infatuated with Belle & Sebastian, Leslie Feist, The Flaming Lips, The Arcade Fire, King Crimson, Modest Mouse, The Police, and (my favorite) Ween.

Movies:

I'm a harsh critic, but I DO have my soft-spots. I love "E.T.", "Breaking Away", "Patton", "Stranger than Fiction", "Sense and Sensibility" (that makes me a bit metro, I think?), "The Bourne Identity" (but I hated the sequel!), "Equilibrium", and "Eyes Wide Shut". That's not a definitive list, by an means; There's plenty of comedies that I enjoyed, but I just can't think of them.Perhaps more telling is the movies that I DIDN'T like; "Batman Returns", the new "Star Wars" movies, "Lord of the Rings 2&3" (amazing 'films' - humorously exaggerated drama and action, though)... I'll keep adding them as I think of 'em. I'm curmudgeonly, my wife tells me.

Television:

I have no clue where my television is...

Books:

Mostly textbooks and non-fiction, to support my 'hobby addiction'. I like science-fiction and (ironically) books about writing books.

Heroes:

Richard Feinman, Mother Theresa, among others.

My Blog

Ween

Several months seem t' have gone by in a blink of my eye.  Parenthood = Time Dialation effects.  I'm sure that Einstein would have developed a theory of Parenting Relativity had he been a fa...

Older music

Before the "Feel Like a Woman" incident, various Belle & Sebastian songs were featured as my musical choices. Not that anyone checks my page for music.

The long awaited change of music

Indeed, many unwitting MySpace browsers had stumbled upon my page, blissfully ignorant to the punishment they would receive! Previously, I had mobilized a show of support to a friend  who had recent...
