Like I can just compress the essence of my being into a few words... Wish I could though, that's a hell of a talent.

I am relaxed, geeky, and human

Being a kind of digital knight-errant, travelling from project to project. Ideally leaving behind less problems than there were before. ;)

Telling computers what to do
Yelling at computers if they don't do it.
And taking pretty pictures with my camera.
Oh, and cooking. Which is probably the most useful thing on this list.

My incredibly bad puns.

Books: almost everything by Terry Prattchet, Neal Stephenson and William Gibson (almost, because I still haven't read everything). And recently, I've added Charles Stross to the list, his "Laundry Files" books are incredibly funny and entertaining.

Music: too much to list everything I like here, but what's currently on heavy rotation: The Airborne Toxic Event, fun. and Jupiter Jones. And there's always a place for Leonard Cohen and Bernd Begemann.

Food: Hard to say, there's so many tasty stuff: Italian, Indian, Japanese... never mind all the different regional delicacies here. (Mmmmh, Brezn! ;) )

Movies: The one that I can see again and again is "When Harry met Sally", I can never get enough of that movie.

* Music
* Computer
* Internet
* Running Water
* Books
* A comfortable bed

Time, location and permanence.

Probably out with friends, exploring the Berlin night life or singing Karaoke

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

You have made it all the way to here and have not run screaming to the hills.
Also, if you're into pen and paper RPGs and want to geek out about them ;-)
