I play guitar, write, sing & record songs (though not nearly as often as I used to), I collect rare music bootlegs (See below), enjoy digital photography, and working on my web sites.
I love movies (see below)
...video games... I play PS3 online regularly (Call of Duty 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, Resistance; Fall Of Man), so if you've got a PS3, let's play!
I created a level for the game "Little Big Planet" which you can play if you have the game, and a PS3. My level's called "Quest Of The YoYo God". But since most of you don't, here's a video of me playing through the level. Quest Of The YoYo God
...also I love ...yo-yo'ing...
I know a few hundred tricks perhaps, which means I may know more than you, but this isn't bragging, as long as I clarify that in the yoyo community I'm no more than a slightly above-average amateur.
and The Cutting Edge, Mary Poppins, The Sound Of Music, Say Anything, The Music Man, The Wizard Of Oz, My Fair Lady, Fried Green Tomatoes, That Night, Peggy Sue Got Married, Groundhog Day, Switch, Titanic, The Man Who Knew Too Little, and The Matrix, among many others.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer is the best damn show EVER produced.
I've been to a four Buffy Sing-a-longs, which are theater showings of the "Once More With Feeling" musical episode, done with audience participation, kind of like Rocky Horror. They were doing them at The Loft until recently, when licensing issues put a (hopefully only temporary) stop to it.
I love Joss Whedon's other shows - Angel
and Firefly too (Joss is the master!).
Eliza's show "Tru Calling" was awesome. I'm looking forward to Joss & Eliza's upcoming new show "Dollhouse". I also loved The 4400, Jericho, The Pretender, and Dead Like Me. I don't watch a lot of current TV stuff, but I do love (the new) Battlestar Galactica, Smallville, Heroes, Prisonbreak, Lost, The Office, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Psych, Robot Chicken, South Park, and My Name Is Earl. So no, I'm not much of a TV watcher.
Books
I don't read much (really), but have some favorites, which have pretty much all been time-travel related. The top is probably "Time and Again" by Jack Finney
or possibly "Replay" by Ken Grimwood.
Of course "Bid Time Return" by Richard Matheson (the book on which Somewhere In Time was based). And the "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon was fantastic. Also, "The Door Into Summer" by Robert Heinlein.
Heroes
.. are delicious sandwiches

This player is pretty much packed with an odd assortment of tunes I currently like. And if you want, you can hear me sing and play guitar by selecting ...

"Aubrey" by Bread, Performed by me
"Homeward Bound" Performed by me, written by Paul Simon
I recorded them at home on a 4-Track, and I don't know what I'm doing, so .. in case they sound like crap to you ..well, that's why. Of course..if they sound great, it's because I did it myself, and I'm a professional.
Note: If you don't see the music player, you just see a black box, you're probably using Internet Explorer 6. Upgrade to version 7.

Hey Yo-Yo Man,
Thanks so much for the snow pics. The last time I remember snow in Tucson was 1995. I've been wanting to take my son to see snow for a while, of course it's after I move to Phoenix that it finally snows in Tucson again! ARGH! Thanks again!
