    Sam: History, comics, bad movies, good sandwiches, shady science, brilliant thinkers, ridiculous synchronicity, and trying to figure out why things are the way they are so I can better explain life to my awesome children. I'm also trying to figure out why I'm incapable of making banana bread.

  • Music

    God help me, I am a child of the 80's so I like the weird, the one-hit-wonder, and the unusual. I thank Myspace for discovering Dr. Steel, Smeff, and Rasputina. I recommend you discover them, also. Marillion (Fish era) is a valued source of inspiration. I like to write while listening to any of Enigma's CDs and The Seduction of Claude DeBussy by The Art of Noise. I enjoy the mesh of classical and modern.

  • Movies

    B-movies, sci-fi, bad zombie flicks, good zombie flicks, documentaries, almost everything Jackie Chan has done.

    For my current top 50 titles, check out my blog Lights! Camera! Action!

    MST3K, Venture Brothers, The Prisoner, LOST, Heroes, Ken Burns, Monty Python, original Twilight Zone, assorted BBC fare such as The Young Ones and Black Adder and Ab Fab, original Trek, Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, Ghost Hunters, Robot Chicken, Sponge Bob, The Mighty B, Myth Busters, How it's Made, Deconstructed, The Office, The Naked Archeologist, Metalocalypse, Looney Tunes.

Who I'd like to meet:

Lots of people! Creative geek types are always welcome. Nice folks we meet at comic conventions. Harvey Hubbell II, inventor of the electric outlet in 1909, and other people no one's ever heard of, but have shaped the world. Well, maybe not Harvey because he's dead, but you get the picture. Our "Top Friends" section changes on a regular basis, except for a cherished few.

Know your gaming roots.

Food for the soul. Do yourself a favor and watch the Alan Moore interviews this bit is linked at the end. Amazing.
