About Me

My photo
Halmanator
I'm a kid who never quite grew up, a family man and a computer nerd, both by profession and inclination. I like airplanes, sci fi, computer gaming, comic book heroes and toys. I'm a wanna-be pilot who only flies PC simulators, although I have briefly taken the controls of a small Cessna and a glider or two. I have a sizeable movie collection on DVD and Blu-ray, most of which I've legally purchased. I'm a big fan of the Simpsons, but I watch almost no network TV shows. I especially detest "reality" shows. I'm a bleeding-heart liberal with occasional flashes of conservativism. My heroes are Mike Oldfield, Dave Barry, Martin Scorsese, Pierre Trudeau, Chuck Yeager and Bruce Artwick.
