I have many interests, but little time so I will only call out a few in which to write about here.
Travel
I very much enjoy travel -- for both work and pleasure. Many people find enjoying work-related travel a bit weird, but I do enjoy it because it enables me to get into a "work mode" and it helps me concentrate and focus on work. And then when I come home on weekends and after assignments, I focus on home.
I have had the great fortune of being able to visit the following places:
- Baltic Cruise: Netherlands, Estonia, Germany, Russia, Norway, Sweden - 2008
- European Cruise: Greece, Turkey, Venice - 2007
- Africa: Kenya and South Africa (Jo'burg) - 2006
- Asia: China (Beijing, Shanghai) & Hong Kong - 2002
- Europe: France, Greece, Italy, Monaco, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, UK - 1995+
- North America: Canada (Montreal & Vancouver), many US states, Mexico
- South America: Brazil (Rio) - 2004
I very much look forward to visiting Australia and possibly, just to have done it, Antarctica.
More links to selected pictures will be here soon.
Television & Movies/Film
I love watching TV and absorbing the content in the background while I'm working on my computer (for work or play). I've liked many shows and will list some to remember their greatness...
- Alias! - Oh how I loved that show. The first 2 years were especially great and the writing kept me guessing.
- Buffy & Angel & Firefly - Great writing/directing and nice campy fun
- Sci-Fi Tribute: Stargate: SG1 & Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek: TFG & DS9 & Voyager (but not the prequel series - ugh) and Farscape.
For movies, there are so many out there, a list wouldn't cover anything but some movies that have stood out to me:
- Dangerous Liasons - classic period piece with great double entendre
- Thank you for not Smoking - a recent welcome funny flick
- Evita - a rare occasion in which Madonna did a decent acting job
