Interests

AP HOLDER JUNE 4, 2005 - JUNE 3, 2006

This is my 3rd or 4th round with a Annual Passport. But this time as an AP holder I haven't returned. I'm thinking October.

NIGHT ELF DRUID DEC. 25, 2004 - PRESENT

Still playing. though not as often. But as the host for the guild website even when I don't play I stay in the game a little.

iPOD MAY 2003 - PRESENT

I am currently on my second iPod, used the first to death.. Also have a shuffle, want a Nano. This relates a bit to other interest: Audiobooks. Audible and ipod is great for audiobook lovers. I have 70 or so unabridged audiobooks. That many would have cost around 2-3 thousand dollars. I have probably spent only 200 bucks (20x10months) your first month you get 5 books and you have no obligation for more months. And ever month you resign up you can get 3 books. At 20 bucks a month its the best deal out there. (And ipods are the best for audio books, CD Quality with the the place saving convenience of cassettes.)

MAC OS X AUGUST 2004 - PRESENT

Well after loving my iPod (and being an apple fan-boy forever) I decided to make the "Switch" which sounds scary isn't that bad. My powerbook has changed my life so much. It is also not incompatible with life as Microsoft has led everyone to believe. Now in the past it may have been so. I have seen past mac operating systems and OS X blows everything else out of the water, even XP. (But i still keep my XP PRO desktop and end up using it often, especially as I can only create images on the dead program "Microsoft Image Composer". (I really need to learn my Adobe/Macromedia products.)

NINTENDO 1986 - PRESENT

I say 1986 but I don't remember when I got my first Nintendo. I do know it was shortly after the NES came out. Currently Im a Nintendo DS player. The Nintendo Micro looks very attractive, but its hard for me to buy GBA (Game Boy Advance) games because my first gameboy advance (my first portable game system at all) was stolen with tens of games. For some reason its just frustrating to buy a game for the second time. (plus I need to save up for the revolution in 2006)

EVERYTHING TNBC AND TIM BURTON 1993 - PRESENT

I've been fan of Tim Burton from the beginning.. One of the few that liked TNBC (The Nightmare Before Christmas) from the moment it came out in theaters. Not all of his movies are masterpieces but most are good enough to own. (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is going to be a pre-order) Incidentally I'm a Danny Elfman fan through Tim Burton's movies. Pee Wee's Big Adventure couldn't have been such a classic without the both of them. (P.S. here is to hoping that the corpse bride is another TNBC)

TV SHOWS: USA NETWORK/COMEDY CENTRAL/E!/G4

I seem to spend all my TV time on 4 channels. And all but USA has only one show I watch religiously. Although I do like Reno 911 on Comedy Central too. And I must admit that I press record whenever I see CSI: Whatever or Law & Order: Whatever on the schedule grid, with the hope of one I haven't seen. I wonder if you put all CSI and Law & Orders back to back if it would last over a year... (P.S. Although TiVO will always have a place in my heart I am loving my Dual Tuner on my Comcast DVR.)

WEBSITES

I enjoy creating websites. I have one for my guild (thedungeonmasters.com) and one for my family (howtonfamily) my work one (PCFOCUS.NET) and a few others. Im not a good coder, got a C in Java/perl class. But I do pretty good HTML and can recreate almost anything on frontpage. Also im learning to customize PHP websites and forums.
