Geekly interests was RE: [geeks] It's a small f'ing world after all!

[Chris Byrne]

Frist of all, thank you Jon for describing anything to do with me as fun
;-)

In the spirit of sharing common interests here's my list

Gamers : RPG of all type, wargaming, tabletop, pc,  email, irc, web based
Medievalism: SCA, Live Steel
Computing: Just about everything
Comics: More web comics than I can count, but including Goats, Sluggy, GPF,
most of bigpanda and keenspot etc...
IRC: Occaisonally, not like I used to since theres jsut way to many lamers
Firearms: Well the only thing I have right now is a Wilson Combat 1911, but
I'm an enthusiast
Martial arts: 2nd degree of mastery brown freestyle Jiu Jitsu, Ken Jitsu,
ninpo, aikido, others
Vehicles: Private pilot, autocrosser, amateur rally, small craft master,
catamaran racing, motocross and enduro (2 wheel and quad), Ice racing
"Extreme":Sky diving, base jumping, rock climbing, rappelling, survivalism
Fetishists: Interesting topic. Women in heels, stockings and/or anklets,
asians, long fingernails, women in 80's style "power" makeup or gothy
makeup, many many others ;-). I'm a natural Dom which is EXTREMELY rare. I
dont do Dom games, people just kind of do what I tell them to.

That's just the first two minutes of thoughts too. I have way too many
interests.

Hi!

Last night I had the pelasure of meeting up with Chris Bryne and his
wife for dinner. In our discourse we found that not only do I know
Chris via these lists @sunhelp.org but Drea knows of me via some...
rambunctious friends of mine who tried to dominate the conversation on
a mailing list she moderates.

One of the interesting things an acquaintance did in Silly Valley was
keep a sign-in list at his parties-- you'd list your name and how you
knew the host or someone else at the party. Then you draw the
comparisons-- geeks run in many different circles, but not all geeks
run in all circles:

gamers (tabletop) --- gamers (pc) --- coders --- (SAs) --- renn-faire
--- goth --- firearms --- treehuggers --- old hardware --- comics
(sluggh) --- comics (goats) --- comics (UF) --- IRC --- fetishists --
etc.... pick two or three for yourself, and two or three for friends. I
think a Venn Diagram describes it best after all.

Oh well, just a $.02 for today... considering it's still morning. I
gotta get back to class (not like I had much to begin with, but
oh-well...)

-Jon
