I enjoy all kinds of music and have become a fan of MusicMatch's Artist on Demand service.

• Cat Stevens. My favorite Cat Steven's song is Foreigner Suite. I'm also a big fan of his older stuff and really enjoy the movie Harold and Maude which features a full Cat Stevens soundtrack.
• Clannad My wife is part-Irish and I have developed a real love of Gaelic culture and all things Ireland.
• RUSH A great RUSH site for downloading album art and desktop themes is Power Windows.
• U2.
• Joy Division. There is no official site that I am aware of, but here is a link to check out if you aren't familiar with Joy Division. Here is another link to the Shadow Factory. I've got a fair number of their rare recordings on original vinyl. I like to listen to Joy Division when I am in blah moods and sometimes when I'm writing software. I don't know why. I was introduced to Joy Division during a very rough time in my life and for some reason their music has transcended all those bad times and I still enjoy it for what it is.

• Dungeons and Dragons: I started playing when I was a boy around 1978-9. I started out with Tunnels and Trolls and then transitioned into D&D. I have an enormous collection of the original materials (all well used of course), including some very rare 3rd party modules, such as Tegel Manor. I also have appx. 400 lead figures, many of which I have painted. I'll try to take some decent pictures of some of them and put them online here when I can. You can see a kind of crappy photo of my Grenadier "Dwarf Giant" who I call Gimli here. I played pretty regularly up until college in 1987 and then played in a campaign from 1992-4. I really haven't had much time to play since but wish I did.
• Other Role Playing Games: Gamma World and Top Secret are the other RPG's that I played a lot of when I was growing up.
