Hi, I'm a nerd. 
I write, and sometimes I publish those writings on my blog, Pursuing Calefaction, or I'll write trivia here. I used to brew (award-winning!) beer on my stove and also with my friends; details are on the HomeBrewing section of the wiki. Now I'm a dad and a teacher, still trying to find the time to brew and write and game.
A moment of shame: sidhe-Rog-Orc-Fem-Cha died in the Dungeons of Doom on level 1. Killed by a carnivorous bag.
This forum post is how I got our Brother HL 2240 laserjet printer working in Linux.

Projects on the back burner
design & build floor-to-ceiling bookshelves
a wooden, folding 4'x3' game table
a laser pen!
Prep next War of the Ring board for play.
Crazy ideas I come up with
- A frisk (or whatever) board display server with a handheld API that hooks up to a projector suspended over a table surface!
SteveIsrael has built the projector part, based on a design he saw at a local gaming store -- BtTempleton
An Appalachian Trail wiki (really? Nobody's thought to do this yet?) Well, there's http://www.walkipedia.org/. But the guy's just sitting on it for now, apparently.
