This was my name while playing computer games online and making many maps for such games as Half-Life and its add-ons. My co-conspirator in gaming was Dr. Kavorkian, who is quite dangerous with a crowbar, though he prefers the syringe. I don't play anymore, since I am working most of the time.

If I list anything giving myself a weight of authority in any areas, my experience from online forums is that some punk will act like a stupid animal and try to challenge and criticize my credentials. Probably there will be comments even about my statement about this trend, proving my point. I don't mind someone verifying credentials. Afterall, I check on others as well. However, there is a polite way to do this and there is a beligerent way. I hope people will show more class in their interactions online than I have seen in the past.

My areas of specialty include: European, African, South American, U.S. History; Biology; Astrophysics; Music; Theology (of various religions); Philosophy; Languages; Teaching English as a Foreign Language; Teaching; Information Technology; Writing. I have either studied these subjects at University or worked in these fields.

I have not traveled extensively. I have been to about 2/3 of the states in the U.S., Canada, Ireland, England, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Russia and the Czech Republic.
