| Bio: | I live in Austin, TX, and work as an advisor at the University of Texas at Austin, in the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I have 4 cats of varying ages: Sam (14, diabetic, and also has intestinal lymphoma), Ginger (8, big healthy former feral girl), Charlie (8, former feral girl), Kitsu (7, former feral boy, recently diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure).
In my spare time, I read (a lot), watch football, crochet, hang with friends. I also work on SF/F conventions. I've been involved with FACT, Inc. since 1997. I've been Chair of the Board of Directors, Treasurer and Events Coordinator. I recently chaired the 2007 ArmadilloCon, the regional SF/F convention held every summer in Austin (I also chaired ArmadilloCon in 2001, 2002 and 2004). I have been treasurer and Guest Liaison several times as well. I also co-chaired the 2006 World Fantasy Convention which was in Austin Nov. 2006.
Please feel free to stop by my My Space and Facebook sites. (In Facebook, just search my name.) I've been doing some experimenting with these sites for work (no really, I have), but I'm keeping my toes wet with both. |
