About me:

Do you really want to know? Can your heart stand the shocking facts taken from the secret testimony of the poor souls who survived? Wait. Never mind. There were no survivors.

We are what we do. I write. Mostly, however, I stare at a computer screen and think about writing.

Personality type: INTJ. Scientist. Rational. Mastermind. Free-thinker. Crackpot. Easily mistaken for a psychopath.

I keep a LiveJournal. Most of the interesting stuff happens there. Also, most of the boring stuff happens there. My LJ is "friends only," so only about three people read it.

For about six years, I wrote a weekly newspaper column called Pulp Culture, dealing mostly with sci-fi, horror, and comic books. I now write a column called Culture Shock, which is a mix of politics and pop culture. And this is an article I wrote in 2005 for Reason magazine, one of the 50 Best Magazines in the nation.

My YouTube experiments.

Who I'd like to meet:

I have never met Napoleon, but I plan to find the time.
