| Biography: | Obviously, I love games. Games which involve rules changes as they play are of particular appeal to me. Cosmic Encounters was the biggest influence there. If it wasn't for Cosmic and D&D, most likely Wiz-War never would have existed. And, following from that, none of my other games. Threads upon threads.
My other loves (besides my wife, Penny, and two kids, Cliff and Brittany) include puzzles (the 3D wooden ones, and metal disentanglement) and physics (gravitational and particle). And, of course, space. I've wanted to go off into the wild black all my life, and this might even be feasible in my lifetime if all the commercial endeavors currently in the works pan out. Ultimately, it'd be nice to get to Mars, and I intend to help along whatever little programs pop up to speed this venture along, including some technical designs of my own (see the "rich in space" page). My real job is as an electrical engineer, and I have a second degree in astronautical engineering, which never seems to get used much in my current job. Oh, well. That's probably why I do so much stuff on the side. |
