Berlin - Probably one of the cities that I find the most interesting, even though I only spent three days there. I really like the mix of east vs west (and how it is not always easy to differentiate the two).
Dark City - Probably my second favourite moving, following Blade Runner. I really like the film noir mixed with sci-fi. I seem to have lost my DVD unfortunately, although I think I may have lent it to Christine.
Localization - The act of making software support multiple locales, including languages. I find this challenging and fun.
Meat Distributors - An almost completely unknown industrial rock group from Seattle that released four songs to mp3.com and then vanished completely. I still have those four songs and I love them all!
Philip K. Dick - I first heard of him through my watching of Blade Runner, and I picked up a couple books of his on a whim (and I have lent them to Christine also). They were Ubik, The Penultimate Truth, and Lies, Inc. I really liked them all, and I have trouble reading Gibson since getting into Dick.
Romania - I spent two weeks there in the summer of 2003. One week in Bucureşti and one week in Braşov. I loved it there! I think the language sounds really neat too. It was also where I found the only Fanta I really like: Fanta Shokata. It is made from elderberries.
World War I - I find myself interested in the Austro-Hungarian empire, and WWI marks the end of it. I also find the method of warfare interesting, and the culture that came out of it. Also the circumstances that led up to it.
