Television:
Don't watch a lot, but do love certain things: **Adult Swim**!, just about anything on the History Channel, the new Battlestar Galactica, Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, Mythbusters, Band of Brothers, Law and Order.
Books:
I read books like they're gonna be burned. Mostly I like Sci-fi, but I will read anything. Really. Backs of cereal boxes, tags on pillows, fine print in legal documents, you get the idea. Favorite authors include Robert Heinlen, David Brin, Neil Stevenson (READ SNOW CRASH!), William Gibson, David Drake, David Weber, Larry Niven, Timothy Zahn, Douglas Adams, Kim Stanley Robinson, Terry Pratchett, Eric Flint, Orson Scott Card.
Heroes:
Creative Geniuses everywhere.
