Personal

Interests

I am intensely interested in all things that have electricity moving through them. I guess I really love science in general as I love physics, biology, anthropology, archeology, meteorology and most of the other 'ologies. :-) Obviously I love computers and computers games. But I also love music. I have played bass guitar since about 1980. Before that I played coronet, and then drums. I've also tinkered with the piano as well as six and twelve-string guitars. Although I like a lot of different kinds of music my favorites are classical, new age (or ambiance), Celtic folk, and alternative rock. But there is still a lot of classic rock, country, techno and industrial that I like. I don't like most rap, but there is some I do like. But I definitely *don't* like gangster rap. I believe strongly that it sends the wrong message to our youth. There's more I could add, but I just created this field and was just testing. :-P
