This page is obviously under perpetual construction. I prefer substance to style, so I haven't seen much use in using Flash, Java Applets, ActiveX, and the like on a personal web page. I use them on the commercial sites I have designed. Unfortunately, those web sites are on company intranets and not accessible to the web population at large.

DunDraCon Convention Game

Here is the link for information about my DunDraCon games. The latest game is HollyWeird, for World of Darkness (tm. White Wolf Games), primarily for Mage the Ascension characters.

Career

You can download my (old) resume, see code samples, and more at my Career Page.

Role Playing Games

As an avid role playing gamer and long term computer professional I have accumulated a plethora of gaming material. Here are a few of my current and former campaigns I have had the privilege to run and play in. You can find a list of games I have played, and supplimental material here. My current games are:

• Celephais, a D&D3.5 campaign. As the alpha GM I have the cool maps and campaign notes.
• Honor of a Thousand Suns, a game of my own devising using the d6 system of West End Games, Metabarons, and Holistic Designers Fading Suns.
• Nine Sisters of Sinead, an Ars Magica saga.

Literature

People

People I admire, people I know, people I hate...

Music

The music I listen to, a very eclectic collection.

News

The news... is fiction. Here is what I read, and only with a skeptical eye (even the Skepdics refuge.)

• The Skepdics Refuge - Pointing out the BS in our world.
• Slashdot - News for Nerds that matter.
• The Drudge Report - Old fashioned journalism at its best... and worst.
• The Christian Science Monitor - Excellent coverage of moral issues and foreign affairs.
• The Straight Dope - Fighting ignorance in our time.
• Number Watch - Working to combat Math Hysteria, especially in statistics.
• The Cato Institute - Working for government, individual liberty, free markets and peace. Bascially, a libertarian think-tank.

Art

Art that I like, from the ridiculous to the sublime.

• MegaTokyo - Long running, Anime style comic
• Crocker Art Museum - My local museum. It has a great collection and hosts good touring exhibits.

Food

Opinion

Are you interested in my humble opinion on issues past and present?
