Hi, I'm Brendan. I'm an organism. I'm possessed of the following fetishes:

• Interweb comics
  
  
• Girls in sneakers
  
  
• Free culture
  
  
• Categorization
  
  
• Being a punk about it
  
  
• Genre fiction
  
  
• Pictures of people talking on two phones at the same time
  
  
• Artificial constraints
  
  
• Title tags
  

and the following anathemae:

• The Registrar
  
  
• The words "slumber" and "plethora"
  
  
• Steel guitar
  
  
• The phrase "slice of life"
  
  
• The undead
  

I have a BS in Computer Science and Dramatic Arts from Centre and an MS in the former from the University of Louisville.

Whenever I open a browser, I go to my start page. I produce textual noise at Story Games, the Book of Names and the seething font of angst on the interweb. I donate money, at intervals, to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

I'm of average appearance and I hold up okay under stress. I have a lot of white hair and, not coincidentally, an email address. I'm a guy. I live in Portland, Oregon, with my girlfriend Kara and her cat. I was born on May 3, 1981. I can drive a car now. Legally.
