a request has been made to know if I am a coffee fan. indeed i am, and hot tea as well. I have a collection of loose leaf teas at my desk at work, but I have other ways to utilize coffee or tea related things at home. been thinking of getting a French press for my desk but never got around to it.

1. Graham is 6 months old, we adopted him directly from the breeder. He's energetic and retarded and he loves everyone/everything. He's about ~13-14 lbs right now and should grow to ~20 eventually. Sputnik is 10 year old. She's very small (6 lbs) and kind of a jerk to everyone except me. I imprinted on her at an early age, and she's very affectionate to me but tends to just run away from other people. She still chases the red dot and all that just like any cat, though.

2.
Mac: bad. I don't have much pre-OSX experience other than oregon trail in the computer lab as a kid. I really, really don't like modern macs.

Windows: bad. I've extensively used every version of windows from 3.1 to 7, which seems to be where I'm getting off. I have fond memories of my old win 9.x, 2k, etc. boxes that I used to game on around the turn of the century. The windows ecosystem is definitely where I live.

Linux: bad. I use Arch at work, primarily to dodge being on the windows domain. I'm very competent in bash/linux in general, but I didn't use a linux until ~2007. I don't know much about pre-2000 linux.

3. I like ales and lagers, but I'm really not that picky. The only iffy beers for me are IPAs, sometimes they're just too bitter for my taste

All of the above, especially horse picture (guys I have a horse picture I found on the ground attached to my mailbox with a binder clip and my mailman and I read the horse picture every day when there is mail)!

And to fill in the box: I like books a lot, arcane or technical nonfiction are my jam! I love a typical "best-seller" fiction as well because I can't read nonfiction all day. Currently reading "Everything and More" by David Foster Wallace and having a good time. I would love something light to read about hands-on cryptography, hardware, programming, or nuclear weapons.

TO Santa/Santee: Apologies for the delay in response; work shipped me to China and the internet sucks and my phone isn't actually unlocked so I can't use that, then I took a week of vacation in Taipei (humble brag) and now I've gotta go back to China for a few days so life has been moving too fast for YOSPOSting recently.

But don't worry Santee, I got you some sweet hand-selected stuff from eBay and Taiwan and possibly China. Your gift definitely contains lead, so keep it away from your kid until they're cool enough to handle it.
