I was born with Cystic Fibrosis, a pervasive genetic disease, and a passion for gaming (ok, I guess the latter was learned; I blame the teacher who taught me Bridge when I was 9). Three things take up most of my life: gaming, work and my health. All of them are interesting in their own way, although I doubt I will be writing much about work.
Gaming:
Card Games (especially CCGs, notably Rage and M:tG);
Roleplaying (historically White Wolf games, but getting more varied);
Board Games & any other kind of game - I am just too competitive;
Game Design: I am a developer for Rage and also (try to) design other games.
Computers:
I do like learning new computer languages, but only as I need to;
Similarly other software;
Computer are a varied and interesting tool, not an end unto themselves.
Communication:
I just love to talk, in person or over the computer, and that includes writing blogs and articles for Rage;
I do rules and form-filling too.
Librarianship:
I know some librarians who really love the act of cataloguing; I just have a head for order (unknown in my personal space) and for words, and enjoy the friendly working environment. I also love helping people.
Fantasy and Science Fiction:
I tend to group these together, part escapism, mostly as an excuse to address problems from a different direction. I am not so keen on "hard" science fiction books, but my range of Fantasy authors is huge (helped by an adolescence raiding that part of the library).
Satire:
See Fantasy and Science Fiction!
