A {{Nerd}} and semi-{{geek}}, as well as a certified genius. ([[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes The certificate is in the shop.]])

Fond of wanton trivia, the more esoteric the better though not a master of such, really. Fan of all media, especially books, webcomics, and some movies. Prefers SpeculativeFiction over the dryer and more bland alternative, and humanity at large is on my side, whatever critics might have to say.
