Real name's Tom Dancer. My current internet connection determines that I live in a flat in Newcastle, UK. I'm 27 year of age, shoe size of 10 (British - 10.5 American - 44.5 European - 28.5 Japanese), height of 5'10" and a 19" neck.
I enjoy video games that I like, movies that appeal to me, web design/development and men who aren't afraid to cry.
My name is Jordan. I live in southern California. I am interested in all things geek. I am still stuck in high school but it is my last year. The detective story is my favorite type of story, hence the handle.
My name is Dani (though I preferred to be addressed as ayameiris on the web). My age is irrelevant seeing as how I'm forever 19 in my head. That and the fact that no one really believes me when they see me and I tell them my real age. I pretty much dabble into everything that's nerd or geek but my main stomping grounds is anime/manga/video games. I am and will always be working on my novel that never stays the same while I hold down an average joe job of small wages.
Oh, I came across GeekNights while browsing through iTunes and met the boys in the flesh at Kinokuniya at the T.M.Revolution radio interview.
Hi Dani! It's Jessica from NJ! If you are from the Otakon region then I believe that I met you at the TMR panel and again at his appearance at Kinokuniya.
Hi. My name is Mark. I am one of the owners of The Tesla Cafe cyber cafe / music venue in Danville Virginia. I'm one of the friends / partners of Bearded Guy (aka Jawa) who was mentioned in the Katsucon episode. I am into basically all things considered geek, but primarily electronics, technology, and video games.

Wow. I didn't know there was anything interesting in Danville. Last time I was there it was so boring but then again it was a family gathering there. T_T
I was born on a Friday the 13 in October under a full moon. It gave me POWER. (I don't actually know if the full moon part is true, but it was on my 16th!) I grew up in LeRoy, the birthplace of Jello and not much else. It was a good childhood, but then I got kinda stir-crazy as a teenager in a small town and took off for the city, namely Tokyo, and then subsequently New York, for film school at NYU. (I graduated last year) I am an animator and comic artist, employed making 3D models for a small Taiwanese start up. If that ever fails, I'm going to learn how to bake bread and open a boulangerie.
Hello everyone, I am here. I thought I should introduce myself, even though introduction threads usually aren't read with much conviction. My name is Matthew Sedbery, son of Michael Sedberry. I was born in an Air Force base hospital in, now closed, George Air Force Base, CA on October 19, 1984. Since then I have also lived in Phoenix, AZ and now reside her in west Texas. I graduated from high school back in 2003, and am finally in the pursuit of making my life better by enrolling at a local technical college. I enjoy watching anime, playing RPGs, reading Dragonlance novels, writing, reading comics and manga, and various other geek oriented activities. I am a collector of sorts. I have over one hundred Dragonlance books and around sixty Sonic the Hedgehog comics. Lastly I must say that I am a huge Gundam fan, and an even bigger giant robot fan.

Star Wars-I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan.Even though I don't own a tonne of collectibles I own many books,all of the films and games. Computers-I may not be a uber specialist when it comes to Computers but I know how to do most of the things that do not require a degree in computer science.I'm currently in the middle of building a new gaming rig here are the specs- Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case $119.99 PSU: GIGABYTE ODIN PRO 800W, fan 15cm, Retail 210$ Cooler: Ice Hammer IH-NIAGARA (water cooling) 35$ Processor: Intel Socket 775 Core 2 Quad Q9300 BOX <2.5GHz, 1333FSB, 6Mb L2, 45nm, EM64T> 300$ Motherboard: Socket 775 EPOX EP-5NVAJ 1066 NForce4+SLi, 4DDRII 667,8CH,2PCI-E 16x,LAN Gb,SATAII RAID ATX Rtl 130$ Video Card: Nvidia PCI-E 512 Mb XFX PCX9800GTX 675MHz 300$ Ram: DDRII4096Mb (2x2048Mb) PC2-6400 800MHz DDR2 DIMM Corsair XMS2 C4DHX (TWIN2X4096-6400C4DHX G) BOX 140$

Decent, but make a new thread and we can probably improve on it a bit.
@Rhinocero-I'm trying to get pst through his whole Amber series,now I'm on book 9.But he is a good fantasy author,his details are so rich and he describes the action packed sequences very well.He's somewhat like Tolkien.
I had a lengthy contribution but I lost it somehow during the preview stage of my post. Maybe I will redo it later, but for now it will remain short since I'm pissed that Microsoft's clipboard has such limited functionality.
I have been listening to Geek Nights for 2 years. I was born in Geisson Germany in 1986 (22 years old for non-math people) I'm 22 and serving in the U.S. Air Force, I am responsible for ground transportation at Pope AFB, North Carolina. I like all days of geek nights, there is always something that interests me. Nice to post after hearing about forums at the end of every show.
I figure since I'm likely driving Scott crazy at the moment, I may as well post here. My user name, Tuchulcha is an Etruscan death demon from the Tomb of Orcus at Tarquinia in Italy. My real name is Wayne, and I'm a teacher. I've been teaching at the college level for a few years now (I'm 33... feeling oldish) while working on the PhD, but I've just accepted a job teaching at a high school in my home town, New Orleans. My degree is in Classics with emphasis on Archaeology and Mythology (Etruscan and Roman in both categories), a different sort of Geekdom than what's talked about on the show.
I've been into gaming in one form or another since 7th grade, and I'm a giant DnD fan. I haven't bought 4.0 as I don't have a stable group to play with at the moment, and I'm not sure it's really necessary anyways. I've played strategy games such as Shogun and Axis and Allies for nearly as long as I've played DnD, and I played Magic for a few years before moving and losing my gang of friends who played. I'm currently a big fan of World of Warcraft.
My favorite book of all time is Dune (although I've not read the whole series), and my top 5 favorite movies (in no particular order) are Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Excalibur, Dune (David Lynch's version), Star Wars: A New Hope, and Reservoir Dogs. I'm a giant Rush fan with Led Zeppelin running a pretty close second; in general, Classic Rock is my genre.
I'm also married and a father of 2 sons, a 6 and 4 yr old, so I have my hands full as a parent as well. I guess that's about all the pertinent info.
My real name is Charles Bearss (rhymes with "fierce", counter-intuitively), born July 23, 1977. I'm a software developer for a small company in Tallahassee, working on various public safety applications.
I am a big supporter of maximizing one's life, trying new things and appreciating quality. Life with a wife and kids of course is not always conducive to totally geeking out, but I do manage to dabble in robotics, gaming and game programming, LEGO, Magic, some anime, music, sci-fi/fantasy reading and even some writing. I tend to start more projects than I complete, but my hope is to improve on that front as well... and I greatly appreciate and respect people who do manage to create things.
I'm always up for discussion of anything related to politics, philosophy, religion, Harry Potter, "The Future", genetic engineering, Apple, Microsoft, Nintendo, Office Space, education, medicine, or astronomy.
I believe that technology is magic and that the universe is for our enjoyment.
And, of course, I am a huge fan of the podcast. Found out about it ages ago from a comment Ananth made on Applegeeks, and have been listening ever since. Don't know the exact episode I started with, but it was about imminent domain, progress, and cellphone towers... and it was hysterical!
Heh, question, are you the same xyzzy as the one that joins #nexus@irc.nexuswar.com once in a while?
No, sorry. I've always liked the word (those text adventures were my first computing experience back in the day). Typically someone has beaten me to it, so I was surprised it wasn't already in use here. Usually I go with "zod" or "zod1025"... I'll have to set up the IDShare stuff now I guess.
I just googled nexuswar, though, and it looks interesting... will have to check that out.
Hum... My name is Jillian. I grew up in Saltville, VA and I moved out to Brookings, SD to go to school in accounting. I am currently living in Hills, MN and going to school at DSU for computer science. I got the nick-name Jillybean from my father and the girls at college started calling me that.
I am really into anime currently.. so much I started doing fan art. I love music and books. I have two cats named Danzig and Darth Sidious, who are outside pissing off the birds. Oh yeah, I love hello kitty (and the independents) so much I have a tattoo of her on my ankle.
I started listing to Geeks Nights two weeks ago and decided to be social and joins the forums.
I will trytothe last to change this, though chancesareslim.
Personally, I'd rather have you here, but picking on you is fun Meanie *sniffle*
I won't change that post for posterity.
Edit: My absence of 'to' in the beginning of the second line was not incorrect since it was a quote from Macbeth(V.8.32). But the other two are incorrect.

My name is Patrick King, and I was born on March 17, 1985. My fiancée and I live together in Texas, and both of us work (in some capacity) in the health field. I don't really like my job, so I'm in the process of applying at the local junior college to get at least a half decent career. I like to read comics, manga and books though I don't get hardly enough time or inspiration to read them these days. I also draw a bit here and there, though nothing worth selling or showing off. I... guess that's all for now.
