Hi! Welcome to my about page, which I’ve put off making for a long time. Writing about yourself can be tough; I kind of like my website to just speak for itself.
I’ve been fiddling around with websites since I was a kid who discovered Tumblr and Blogspot.
I am fascinated by...
- ancient civilizations across the globe
- mythologies
- how common people lived throughout history
- animal behavior
- practical effects in old movies – like, how did technicolor work, how did they make transitions[1]
- vintage & antique computers
Favorite shows
- Columbo
- Detectorists
- King of the Hill
- Classic Simpsons
Favorite games
- Classic Tomb Raider
- The Sims 2
- Apotheon
Favorite movies
- Amélie
- Black Orpheus
Favorite sayings
- “Nuke it from orbit.” (I strongly dislike actual nukes.)
- “Go pound sand.”

This is a big reason I hate the changes George Lucas made to the original Star Wars films. The originals were a collaborative work of art and the practical effects were incredible. Han shot first btw. ↩︎
Btw, my favorite Chet Baker solo is probably from this session recorded for TV. ↩︎
