About me

Updated 2/4/08:

I realized that it was time to update this page, but was feeling rather lazy, so I opted for the quick fix. What quick fix? I took one of those silly get-to-know-you questionnaires that people like to email around and actually answered the questions.

So, here is my updated "About me" information:
