About meI'm a Computer Engineering guy, and I love reading and writing (mostly sci-fi). Most of me is spread across the internet at this point. A good starting point for potential stalkers or would be admirers is my website.
About my libraryLargely sci-fi with huge swathes of humor and ridiculous amount of books for a guy who is working towards a more permanent home for the bulk of his library. I keep joking how I would almost pay for a private, nice and luxurious "Rent-A-Library" space.

Since you seem to like video games and comics, have you ever played Freedom Force? I'm working through the sequel now (Freedom Force Vs. the Third Reich) and it is terrific fun. Excellent gameplay and the flavor of those early sixties Stan Lee comics I loved so much.
