Playing POTU today is an overwaxed mannequin wearing a pair of Peril-Sensitive (TM) sunglasses.

[see all]

E-mail address: afdanian@pieceoftheuniverse.com

Alias: pieceoftheuniverse, piece, potu, sjc

Place to track you down and kill you: Salt Lake, Utah. One guy amongst several hundred thousand. How's your aim?

Occupation: Deliverables Manager. No, I don't know what that means, either.

Sex (yeah, yeah, ha ha!): Male. (Your own results may vary)

Marital status: Single

Birthday: Yes

Are you left- or right- handed? Right, but working on becoming ambi .. ambo ... both.

How tall are you? 5'11" / 180.3 cm

Webpage title: Currently under construction, but what the hell.

Webpage url: http://www.pieceoftheuniverse.com

If you're considering hiring me, my CV is online here: You want my resume? E-mail me.

DNA fan since: Always. Well, since 198- or so, anyway.

Link to your first post to afda on Google Froups: it's here!

Hobbies/interests/what you do to pass time: Write in HTML, write in English, browse the 'Net, create pictures on the PC, draft stories, think up strange inventions, e-mail knowledgeable people just so I know for sure that the inventions won't work, post in newsgroups, go out to movies, go to the beach, read, relax, sleep, cook, occasionally clean, write a bit more...

Do you play any musical instruments? Not since that petition from the rest of the rental district. Pushy lot.

Philosophy on life/what's your purpose here: Do stuff.

Preferred shoe-lace tying method: Double-knotted, loose enough so you can slip in & out without having to retie, but tight enough so they don't slip off.

Zapper or non-zapper? BZZZZZT!

Do you have a life? (if not, Meg's the one to ask - she's got plenty) The beginnings of one; I've cultured it from tiny little thing, accidentally stunted its growth a tad, but it seems to be on its way.

Shampoo: Blue. I can't seem to trust any other colour.

Have you ever gone skinny dipping? Nope.

Favourite colour: Grey. No, blue. No, yellow. No, red. No...

Have you ever been convicted of a crime? Yes -- I mean, no. No, of course not. Why are you looking at me like that?

Are you, or are you not, iain? I hereby categorically, formally, officially, bi-polarly, disseminately, irrefutably, definitely, by all means and no means can state beyond a shadow of a cause of so much of a precept of the idea of a doubt that I am not in any way, shape, form, or spirit the man known as or indeed by any relation being so much as related in any readily conceivable way (besides, perhaps, sharing a few minor genetic strands and maybe a -very- ancient ape-decended heritage with) iain.

Words or phrases you overuse: "Um" "Er" "Duh"

What's your bed time? Ten-ish on a weekday. I don't sleep on weekends, to make them last longer.

Most humiliating moment: Don't have one. At least, not one I was sober enough to remember.

Pets: No. No no no no no.

Craziest or silliest person you know: My ex-gf. I wouldn't have dated her, otherwise.

Favourite food: Mexican. Even fake Mexican, like Taco Bell or Del Taco.

Favourite drink: Root Beer. Or are we talking -mixed- drinks?

Favourite quote (DNA or not): "There are two infinites: the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." --Albert Einstein.

Favourite book (DNA or not): Rhapsody. Unfortunately, it's one of those "hidden three-parters" where they don't tell you they're going to leave the story right in the middle of a particularly dramatic point, and so you're stuck waiting for THREE STINKIN' YEARS before you so much as get a -glimpse- of the continuation. Not that I'm bitter.

Are you also a Terry Pratchett fan? Terry Pratchett is a lot like a comedian who's dying on the stage. You know he's trying hard, and occasionally you'll laugh to help him out, but to be absolutely honest you think he's trying TOO hard and you wish to whatever deity you happen to believe in that he would just shut up.

Favourite music: Names of groups have never been my forte. If it has a dicernable tune and a beat I can dance to, I'm happy.

Favourite TV program: Gilmore Girls is decent; Smallville is without peer (but I'd say that about any Superman-esque series); Oddessy 5 I'm still new at. I've got cable and Tivo, though, so I'll keep watching!

Favourite movie: Tell me it has anything to do with space, science, time travel, and/or the future, and I'm there. So far the best is _Grand Tour: Disaster in Time_.

Floor 42 trivia test score: Seeing as how the test is unavailable, I'll just give myself a whopping 120% (I'm just that good)

Froup rating: 3/6

For those of you who are wondering: yes, I am a real person, yes, my e-mail address actually works, and no, I'm not all that strange in real life. Really. Or not really, depending on your mental image of me, and whether or not you'd be disappointed.
