Well, what to tell you? I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

I enjoy reading historical fiction, surfing the net, genealogy, and studying languages and earth-based religions.

My favorite group is the Rolling Stones, and I also enjoy other "hippie" bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and the Beatles. Lest you think I'm a total dinosaur, I also like some of the newer stuff like Linkin Park, Incubus, Nickelback, Metallica, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. I don't have much use for rap at all, sorry.

My favorite TV show is Coronation Street, a British serial - NOT soap opera. I love British humor like Monty Python, Blackadder, Keeping Up Appearances, Absolutely Fabulous, etc.

I belong to several (no, make that too many) mailing lists on the Internet where all my interests are discussed. Because of this, I have been able to make friends all over the world, and have even been able to meet some of them in person. Through my genealogy efforts, I have also made contact with "long-lost" cousins, and gotten to meet some of them too.

I also enjoy watching hockey on TV and cheering on the Edmonton Oilers - except when they are playing the Los Angeles Kings, who have my cousin Kyle Calder among their players. Family loyalty has to count for something!

• The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (commonly known as the Mormons) have, as part of their mission, assembled a huge collection of genealogical data. Because much of it is transcribed from old handwritten records, and some of it is submitted by people who have errors in their own data, keep in mind that what you find may not be the "gospel truth" - but it is an excellent starting point if you want to research your family history.
• Another great genealogical site is Rootsweb, where thousands of people have put up their family histories. Once again, take anything you find with a grain of salt until you can get documentation, but who knows, you may find a long-lost ancestor or cousin.
• I know this sounds incredibly geeky, but have you ever heard of distributed computing? It involves harnessing the power of thousands of computers all over the world to solve a complicated mathematical problem - I'm currently part of distributed.net, which is looking for an encrypted message (just to prove we can do it) and also an Optimal Golomb Ruler (don't ask me what that is).
