Some other things that interest me:

 

Paintball

In the last 5 years I have become quite a paintball aficionado.  In case you don't know, paintball is a [usually] outdoor team sport in which you "shoot" .68 caliber, paint-filled gelatin balls at players on an opposing team using a pneumatic gun, or "marker".  Protective gear is worn at all times, and the marker can be driven by HPA (high-pressure air), CO2, or Nitro.  

My paintball gear includes: 

Kingman Spyder Shutter marker
Force III bolt
Custom Products 12" barrel
Aluminum spring guide
ShockTech springs
PMI 48ci 3000psi tank
9oz CO2 backup
VL 12v Revolution
JT nVader mask
TASO gloves
Hardshell case

 

Music

Aside from my direct musical interests, I am fascinated with development of utilities like the [once defunct and now re-activated] Napster as well as P2P networks like Gnutella or KaZaA, which will eventually change the way think about music conglamorates and force us to examine current distribution methods. The mighty RIAA and their antiquated, biased system will eventuall fall to the mighty consumer choice.

 

Games

I am somewhat of a Half-Life Counter-Strike addict.  Some friends from Celerity started our own clan, Clan IB.  We have played in several company-sponsored tournaments.  I can hold my own. IB is designed as a place for friends to play and not worried about getting kicked out due to inactivity; we're in it for the fun even when the fun means taking 3 months off to enjoy real life.

You probably cant read this.
