[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.
