1. What is the geekiest thing you’ve ever done?
Dang, I’ve done some geeky things in my life.. I worked for a gaming company, I’ve travelled all over north america to gaming conventions, I’ve fixed a computer with leftover wire and bubblegum (really.) I’ve used a computer for more than 48 hours consecutively, I’ve fallen asleep in my college’s computer lab. But, I’ve never made a USB turd, or written fanfic.

2. What’s your single favorite thing about being a parent?
Oh man, another hard one. It’s gotta be the look on my daughter’s face when I come home from work. When she realizes it’s me and sees me for the first time, she gets a huge smile and her eyes light up. It makes me feel like I’m the greatest person in the world.

3. Who’s your favorite Sci-Fi author?
Hmm.. I suppose we’re talking hard-sci fi here. I’d have to say Orson Scott Card. Ender’s Game was possibly the most enthralling book I’ve ever read. I could not put it down, literally. A close second would be Larry Niven though, for Ringworld.

4. What made you decide to start your blog?
Two things, actually. Originally I did it as an exercise in perl, to see if I could write my own content management system. It worked, and for the first year or so I used my homebrewed blog. Once I started to use it more for the content than for the system, I realized that I wanted features that I didn’t have the time and energy to add. So I switched to MT. (but given MT’s new pricing scheme, I might very well go back to my own one and make it more like MT, with the same features that I wanted originally.

5. What is the worst movie you have ever seen?
Well, I suppose again that we’re looking for movies that I wanted to be good and were instead terrible, instead of movies that I knew were terrible, and enjoyed them for that reason alone (A la Buckaroo Banzai…) So that leaves me with ‘To Die For’ – starring Nicole Kidman. Bad. Bad. Bad. I walked out, and that is the first and only time that I have ever done that to a movie that I paid for. Terrible acting, bad plot, and honestly, I couldn’t care about any of the characters.
