I am an American guy with a Chinese wife and 2 kids. I work for a formerly "beleagured" computer company with a "mercurial" CEO.

I live in Silicon Valley. I like to create / engineer stuff.

I like reading about history, current affairs, military issues, and weird science.

I speak Japanese at conversational fluency level, and can read quite a bit of Kanji/Kana. I know a little Chinese, and some German.

These days I stopped playing Call of Duty UO but I might start with COD 4 again ;)

I was away from spogg for a long time but I'm back and my daughters are starting to play too.
