Hobbies: My first hobby is doing stuff with my family - everything else is second. Among the ’seconds’ are:
- Games - PC, Mac, GBA/DS and PSP. Mostly FPS & RPG on the PC & Mac.
- Listening to music - predominant flavor is avant-garde jazz.
- Playing music … not so much since we remodeled, hope to do something about my studio space this summer.
- Reading - existentialists (Camus & Sartre in particular) are a fave, as are James Joyce, Vonnegut, Dostoesvsky, Asimov, and lately R.A. Salvatore and Star Wars books.
- Movies - Star Wars, Marx Brothers, spaghetti westerns, Wonka and a bunch of bad 80’s stuff like Real Genius …

About: I am very fortunate. I have a great wife of soon to be 13 years, we have two great kids, and I have a great job that pays well enough that my wife can stay home and I can still indulge myself with gadgets and games galore!
