Per the suggestion of the Web page for this mailing list, I'm sending 
out a join message, in total disregard for modesty and normal e-mail 
manners. Thus, there will be no apology for the pimping that ensues 
below. 

Firstly, I admit that I'm a senior in high school who has read his 
fair share of science fiction and am an accomplished hacker, having 
written several programs half asleep and all in one sitting. I know 
a lot (certainly more than the average person), but I'm humble (but 
not modest :-)) enough to admit that there is a lot more for me to 
learn. 

I've made it to high SL4 because, for whatever reason, once I believe 
something is possible that is the same thing, for me, as accepting it 
as something that will happen and become bored with it once I learn 
about it. That is why I like to read fantasy, too, since it is 
impossible and can get me excited. 

I have OCD, but be glad. It is probably the best thing ever, since 
it makes me think differently and have a different (okay, better) 
perspective on everything. 

I am a master of Tetris. I'm probably one of the best players of the 
game on the planet and have logged hundreds of hours playing the game 
in various forms. It is a form of meditation, where I can think 
about other things while keeping the physical parts of me focused on 
playing the game. 

I bring with me a knowledge of linguistics, AI, the depths of 
Macintosh history and culture (in other words, I can r00t y0|_|Rz M@< 
anytime ;-)), and the ability to type almost as quickly as I can 
think (which is pretty fast). 

Oh, and I am, of course, the sexiest guy on the planet. 

I've left lots of stuff out just because it's late, and I can't 
remember everything. Plus, some stuff would seem modest, so I'm not 
going to include it. 

If I wasn't unmodest enough, flame me and I'll come back once I think 
of some less modest things to write.
