I miss my weekly fix of Babylon 5 now that the series has ended. Narf.

I spend a good deal of time online working and playing.  I desperately miss the time I used to spend on Talkspot.com but have drowned my sorrows with occasional visits to Constitutiontalk and have gotten hooked on Asheron's Call -- a Massively Multi-Player Online Role-Playing Game.

When I'm not engaged in any of the above I find time to cram in some reading -- mostly Science Fiction with some Mystery and a little Economics and Libertarian Philosophy thrown in for good measure.

So, why exactly are YOU wearing shoes?

I don't, at least not when I can avoid it. I prefer to go barefoot everywhere.

Government???? We don't need no stinking government.

Philosophically, I'm a Rational Anarchist; practically, I'm a Libertarian (it comes from reading what my friends have termed "too much" Heinlein, but like a free lunch I believe there ain't no such thing).

The Eighties were possibly the best decade to be a teenager.

I don't have much of a life, which is why I'm putting photos of my cats here.

To the left is Cymry, Siamese Cat of Doom. To the right is Polly, she's suctioned herself to a heater vent in this picture, so she looks like she's upside down, but she's really not.

Feel like doing something illegal or at least mildly annoying? Then you need to buy some Mentos.

Nearly everyone I know is online, although only a few watched enough Schoolhouse Rock (knowledge IS power) to be able to have their own web pages:

TPK -- The Pirate King mka Suzanne Houghton, best friend extraordinaire.
Captain Midnight -- Curtis Houghton, her rapscallion husband.
Tara Chang -- Illustrator, artist, and good friend.
Raven -- Doug and Helena Jole
Caffeine Man -- Jim Wright, Comedian and all around Cool Guy.
Kerowynn -- Jenna Eatough, Sister-In-Law
The Cummings Family -- Rob, Marie, Eldon, and Jason.
Bug -- Doug Cootey, absent minded artist.
PlanetMess -- Home of Mike and Christine Messersmith
