Hobbies
My hobbies include computers, cigars, pipes, computers, reading, computers, video games, computers, eating, computers, TV, and computers.
More Specifically:
Computers: Building and tinkering with computer hardware, learning new software, any new networking technology, web design, web technology, scripting and programming.
Cigars: (see below and my Closet-a-dor) I enjoy quiet time with a nice cigar or 5 ;-) I am partial to: CAO Brazilia & eXtremes, Punch's Chateau series, Fuente's Opus X line, Bolivars, and many others. I meet with a local group once a month or so to trade and smoke a few. Our group joined up with the SoCal group for a crawl across the border to TJ - check out Scott McGee's site about our crawl
.
Pipes: I branched out into pipes as well as cigars - CHECK
OUT MY PIPES!!! I have found pipes to be a nice relaxing alternative to
cigars. I most enjoy Clanshaw's Windjammer, GLP Mephisto & Robusto, McClelland Super Balkan, Samuel Gawith,
Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky, Frog Morton and many others.
Reading: Mostly technical stuff, but when I feel like something else, usually crime and punishment stuff (Lawrence Sanders, Tom Clancy, true crime, etc.), horror (mostly Stephen King), drama (James Clavell, Jean M. Auel), classics (Moby Dick, The Odyssey, The Good Earth, etc.) or sci-fi (Robert E. Howard, Tolkein, Stephen R. Donaldson, etc.).
Video Games: Right now, I'm playing a Quake 3 mod, Urban Terror. I was heavy into Quake II CTF for awhile (
to see my CLQ {Champions League for Quake - they currently rank 8,500,000 players} rankings for my career in clan fRo and
to see my Pimpin' Q2 models). I play a few others, like Quake I, Blood, the Leisure Suit Larry series(yes, still); I've even had a full-size, coin-op Donkey Kong arcade game (I'm the man on this game, high score 258,900, and unbeaten in more than 10 years!). I play several 3DO games on the TV (Gex, Road Rash, others) - am I dating myself or what?! You can find me playing UT around the 'net, I go by -=NTAC=-whitebar or Fa Q. =)
Eating: I'm kind of an oinker - I eat too much and too fast (I grew up with 5 brothers & sisters - you don't eat fast, you go hungry!!!). I love Mexican Food (you M U S T go to Arriba on 18th St. and Camelback if you're in Phoenix and have the Queso Fundido and New Mexican Enchiladas or the Hatch Chicken Especiale - 6 stars on a scale of 1 to 5!!!). I also like BBQ, cheeseburgers, french fries, sausage sandwiches, and a host of other unhealthy items. Remember, veggies aren't food - they're what FOOD EATS. Also keep in mind that they cause cancer. You need a diet with lots of grease, oil, butter, and other similar stuff to keep your innards working smoothly!!!
TV: I like TV! My shows are Law & Order (Lenny's too cool!), The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Cops, Married With Children, Jerry Springer, and a bunch of other corny shows along the same lines.
