On 6 June 2003 I married a wonderful woman, Ana Lisa. I have a strong background in Computers, Physics, and Math (Statistics), and like to collect computers, watch anime, play role-playing games, and take pictures. Finally, I have a real connection with the old air-cooled Volkswagens. I speak English, Mandarin-Chinese, and Spanish.

I have had three VW buses, a Thing, and am now driving and repairing a '69 Beetle which I managed to get for only $200.

As to the computers I currently have 60 or so depending on how you count things. I am interested in any information that you may have about any of these, or any interesting (as in with some unusual characteristic) old computers. You can find some of what I have dug up here.

  Thanks to T. Carlson for many of the pictures of these computers that I'm using. I obtained them from his Obsolete Computer Museum. I recently obtained a scanner, and as time permits will update the images so they are actually of my computers.

  A few particular machines I'm looking for/intend to obtain:

  • VAX
  • OSK Box
  • CP/M Box with 8" drives
  • One of the successors to the Amiga

  Some other people into interesting old hardware

  I play the following RPGs:

  • Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (A mixture of 1st and 2nd edition)
  • Alternity
  • Mythus
  • Reich Star
  • Shadowrun
  • Space 1889
  • GURPS

  How about some free RPGs The price is definitely right.

  As far as the Photography is concerned. I don't take many pictures of people, preferring landscapes, buildings, and a certain amount of nature photography. Here is one of my favorite landscapes:

  It is a picture of M-Mountain in Socorro, NM which I took late one night.

  I also occasionally fiddle around with computer graphics. Don't expect great art, it's just fiddling around.
