Books: Anything technical related.

Movies: Family Guy, Robot Chicken, The Raccoons, Secret Life Of Machines, Star Wars, Back To The Future, etc. Anything technical or funny. I don't care for horror films. I mainly like animation, especially when it has a good soundtrack!

Music: Anything but violent gangster rap, or music with a lot of screaming in it. I prefer classic rock, blues, 80's and such.

Hobbies: Fixing anything electronic, building computers, home theater, organs and pianos, vintage electronics, especially audio.

I'm an arcade and electronics repair tech who collects everything from vacuum cleaners to stuffed animals. I have Cerebral Palsey, but I am fortunate that I can still live a fairly normal life. I do not drink or smoke, and have no plans to ever start. All of my videos are taken with my Canon Powershot A630. I prefer to keep the clips short so I don't have to use extra compression... Hence the "fast and furious" camera technique.
