I've been a fan of ThinkGeek since its inception, even designed a few products before I got hired... Plus, I've been blogging since before it was called blogging. <oldmanvoice>Back in my day, we used to dial into our 300 baud modems by slamming the handset into the acoustic base, and flame each other on FIDO-net...and we used to wear onions on our belts, which was the style at the time...</oldmanvoice>

In my spare time, I'm a coffee, beer, wine and scotch snob. For those keeping score, and making Christmas lists: Jamaican Blue-Mountain, Duvel, Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and Lagavulin. Got it? Okay, moving on.

I'm also quite fond of my XBox 360, but have far too little time for any serious pwn4g3. I can only manage about 295,000 on Geometry Wars before my eyes cross and I go into seizures.

I aspire to be an environmentalist - driving my Prius, recycling, buying organic produce and meats, etc. I slip from time to time and just have to have a 7-11 Big Bite Hotdog, but, like Glen Phillips once said, "self-improvement can wait 24 hours."

My fascination with SciFi and Fantasy really started with Star Trek and The Hobbit, but of course I'm a big fan of the other properties. I've been known to dress as Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly from wearing his dog-tags to sporting a special Moses Brother's sidearm. Speaking of dog-tags, I'm currently wearing a set of custom Battlestar Galactica dog-tags with my name, rank, callsign and squadron. It's dangerous for me having spending cash in a convention dealer-room. Nerd, thy name is Fraize.

I'm a merchandiser here, which is another way of saying - I find cool crap and put it up for you fine folk to purchase. If you come across anything you think we should offer, drop me a line at fraize@thinkgeek.com.
