About
I'm a multimedia artist, graphic designer, and virtual hermit. I spend quite a bit of time with one or another of my computers; if I'm not on-line, I'm en route to the next wireless connection. I'm a huge science fiction buff—go ahead, ask me anything about Stargate SG-1. I've been watching it religiously since the first episode premiered, ten years ago. (No, I have no idea how the show cancellation is going to affect my life, but I'm hoping to survive this calamity.)
My social life consists of a nice blend of bio-friends and e-friends, and I do pretty much the same thing with both: talk and guzzle beer, the only difference being that I don't have to treat my e-friends to a couple rounds. Unfortunately, I can't make them get up and search for the remote, either. Gotta take the good with the bad, I suppose.

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know."
Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany!
