[edit] Introduction
I'm 5'8", with red hair down to my shoulder blades (which almost always stays in a pony tail), and a facial hair that varies in configuration. As of December 2006, I'm sporting a full set, up to around 3 inches long (though I keep the moustache trimmed enough that my mouth isn't obscured).
Areas of interest:
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- Harry Potter
- I am a "law and order" / minarchist Libertarian, more or less in the mold of Bastiat
- Covers, especially those with changed genres
- Many different aspects of Information Technology, in both Computing and Communications terms
- Star Trek
- The Stargate TV series
- Linguistics, especially conlangs and the Indo-European language family
- English grammar, spelling, usage, and punctuation, from a viewpoint that is almost entirely descriptivist, with the single prescription that correctness is defined by popular contemporary usage
- Race
- Special:Random
I'm technically both highly gifted and learning disabled, which is occasionally interesting.
