Likes and Hobbies:

• College Football – My favorite teams are Arizona State (my alma mater), Stanford (except when they play ASU), and any Pac-10 team playing against UofA.

• Technology and the Web – I recently bought a Mac (15″ Macbook Pro with Santa Rosa in the house) and am loving it! I still use a PC for work, but at home it’s pure Mac. I’m also a Gmail, del.icio.us, Google Reader, WordPress, Viddler, and Last.fm fan. At the moment I’m learning to use my new digital SLR camera; it’s definitely going to take some time before I start posting anything to flickr.
