Producing music, science, 20th century history, finding my own style (I keep changing), clothes that fit well, a nice restaurant, music that brings tears (don't laugh), electronic toys, fixing REALLY big computer networks at secured server facilities, sound engineering, producing that perfect song, watching educational TV, sleeping whenever I want, intelligent conversation, riding Eurorail in the rain and sticking your head out the window, having to proof read a script and then telling the writer he's an idiot, having dinner at The Rainbow, silence, meeting strange people.
Music
I like both kinds of music, rock AND roll, actually I don't listen to music much unless I'm Producing or mixing or listing to to the hundreds of demos we get at Insane records (my job). Actually, I like many styles of music. But typically, I watch intelligent TV and movies.
Movies
Ones that I influened or worked on. "In The Wrong Hands", "The Core", "Cyber Seduction", "Swordfish"
Television
Sony? heh, seriously, Nova, 60 Minutes, Prison Break, Boston Legal, House, and any documentary about science and technology. The History Channel. I hate reality shows. I do watch an occasional sitcom or drama. Thank god for Tivo!
Books
Scrabble Dictionary ver. 2(The one with dirty words), Physicians Desk Reference (know your poison), The Puzzle Palace (about the NSA), The Fugitive Game/
The Watchman, (always fun to read about yourself, especially when the writters never met you), Permanent Midnight (gives Alf a whole new perspective)
Heroes
People that still have both feet. My mother and father(Dr. Donald L. Petersen), Robert E. Petersen (R.I.P.)

I'm a total freak, Intellectual, loyal, open minded, unspoken empathy...
Formerlly I was a record company fool, A&R (that means talent scout, for you non-industry ppl) Producer and Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of Internet Operations for Insane Records, (now dormant) the sanity behind the insanity of...
I also work for MyStartMusic
I was a computer hacker when I was younger. I learned a great deal about information systems, then spent 3 years in prison. (Club Fed) Don't worry, I won't hack your computer. I'm retired now. I now do independent IT work for several companies. I run a small team of techies.
About me? I'm real. But if you asked 4 different people you'd get 4 different descriptions, so I don't know what to say. My IQ is 163 but what the fuck is that worth?
Geez, I've done so many things so here we go. I was a systems admin for adult websites. (years ago) Now I am a technical consultant for film and television. My character has been portrayed or influenced several movies and TV shows. I'm a musician but I don't play much anymore. I'm a sound engineer but I don't do as much of that as I'd like to. I'm an Internet Admin, (I do that) I'm very social but at the same time I like my time alone. I'm on a first name basis with countless people but I don't pay much attention, yet I'm easy going. I like to be comfortable. I get a kick out of busting people in thier B.S., I'm a no nonsense type, yet I'm moody. In closing... I've lived a wild and diverse life. If I died tomorrow I'd have no regrets. Well, I wouldn't mind having my foot back. If anyone finds my foot will you drop me an email? LOL
As far as religon goes I like to quote Albert Einstein
"If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world, so far as our science can reveal it"
