8 Random Facts About Me

Will Phillips asked me to make 8 quirky com­ments about myself, so here goes:

1. When I reheat foods, I like to set the microwave for a prime num­ber of sec­onds (i.e., 17, 23, 37, etc).
2. I tend to dis­dain “lit­er­ary fic­tion” — I find that the typ­i­cal sci­ence fic­tion or fan­ta­sy nov­el is just as insight­ful and vast­ly more enter­tain­ing.
3. I write PHP pro­grams to relax.
4. I hard­ly ever watch TV any­more — I’m pret­ty much exclu­sive­ly devot­ed to watch­ing pro­grams on Net­flix. My wife and I are cur­rent­ly on a Veron­i­ca Mars kick.
5. I used to hate talk radio, but now I love lis­ten­ing to Den­nis Prager. I find him very stim­u­lat­ing.
6. I don’t like the New York Times most­ly because it does­n’t car­ry comics. Seri­ous­ly. I want my Get Fuzzy and my Pearls Before Swine!
7. I don’t eat the meal before I preach. Maybe it’s psy­cho­log­i­cal, but I feel that the food in my bel­ly makes me slow-wit­ted.
8. The main rea­son I haven’t writ­ten a book is that I feel that there are too many books out there already — the great stuff is get­ting lost in the flood.

So there. 8 things about me you prob­a­bly did­n’t know.
