Star Wars
I'm a big fan of Star Wars, and not just
the movies. I've got quite a collection of books and comics, which I've been compiling
into the Reader's Timeline. See the
projects section for more.
Star Wars Roleplaying
While in Carbondale, I started playing in a local Star Wars
RPG game. I don't play much anymore. You can find out about my past exploits
in the Star Wars RPG section.
Magic: The Gathering
I started playing in 1994, or thereabouts. I'm more of a collector
than a player nowadays.
Science Fiction and Fantasy & Anime
I've always been a fan of Science Fiction and Fantasy books
and movies. I'm rather picky about what books I read, though. I've been collecting
Terry Brooks' Shannara series and Landover series, and Anne McCaffrey's Pern series.
I enjoy a variety of Anime programming, but am not an avid collector.
When I attended SIUC, I joined the SIU Science Fiction and Fantasy Society and was
president for 3 years.
Music
A friend of mine introduced me to the wonderful world of tracked
music or "MODs" around 1995, I guess, and I've been hooked ever since.
For those who don't know what a MOD is, it's a digital music file similar to, but
much better than MIDIs. MODs can use pretty much any sound sample the author wishes.
To listen to MODs you'll need a MOD player of some nature and, of course, a MOD
to listen to. You can find an immense collection of MODs at the
MOD Archive.
Eating Contests
I enjoy eating... as I'm sometimes fond of saying "I
didn't get this big by sitting around & doing nothing, there was a lot of eating
involved, too." Find out about some of the eating contests
I've attempted.
