Recovered cult member (Ayn Rand worshiper). Currently living in Florida. Diagnosed Aspie. Atheist. Politics currently "withdrawn in disgust", except being in a swing state I feel obligated to vote for whatever democrat is running for President (unless they're simply too disgusting). Vegetarian. Folkie.
Tualha is a character in A Wizard Abroad (ISBN 0152162380) by Diane Duane. I started using it for a similar character on a MUD, and went on to use it all over the 'net.
Things I like:
- Wikipedia
- Free software
- Several webcomics, including Sluggy Freelance, MegaTokyo, Girl Genius, Something Positive and xkcd
- RuneScape
- Science fiction, especially Theodore Sturgeon, Lois McMaster Bujold, Kage Baker
- Good science writing, such as that of Richard Dawkins
- The Koi Kaze anime and its music
