What movie cliché would you most like to live out in real life?  
Submitted by Wes.  

As soon as I saw this question, I immediately thought of "With great power comes great responsibility." even though I'm sure that's not what the question is talking about. But thinking about it. With that one quote, you could have the basis of your own philosophy, all by itself.

Also, don't accidently reformat your external hard drive. (200 GB I had to restore, but I think I'm going to get most of it. Formatting doesn't really delete your data, contrary to popular belief, and you can usually restore it, especially if its formatted in a Windows Type.)  

In addition to these helpful hints, don't play in traffic, run with scissors, attend concerts in another band's shirt, wear socks with sandals, skinny dip in the day time, or discuss religion in politics in a public place (unless you want to have fun).

Who's the most annoying person on TV?

Two words: Steve Urkel

Do you believe there is intelligent life on other planets?

I personally believe it would be absolutely mind-numbingly arrogant to think we were alone. I mean... regardless of how we got here, whatever you believe, it's still pretty arrogant to think that we are alone and that all the effort was wasted on making us.

What are the weirdest song titles in your playlist or music collection?

Who or what do you really love?

What sort of heartless person could pass up an opportunity like that?

Lots of things, of course.

Stephanie, Macs, The Beatles, The Flaming Lips, Douglas Adams, blogging (depending on the mood I am in, but I always love it deep down inside), photography, Aunt Sissy, several but not all types of music, Albert Gore Jr., Coca-Cola, snow days, glossy screens, the Nintendo Wii, free hardware, free software, Star Trek, Star Wars, LotR, The C7 Guitar Chord, iWoz, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Harry Potter (at the risk of sounding... trendy), the color green (not some book, the actual color), and too many other things to possibly name that I don't love any less, but that I'm simply tired of typing about.

What are five books that changed your life? 
Inspired by Ms. Genevieve.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, mostly. Really really. I loved those books. And there were five of them. After you read them, it totally changes your internal wiring. You should read them, Douglas Adams was the greatest author of all time.

How do you beat writer's block? 
Submitted by marvel is my pen name.

I write about politics, or Linux, or Mac. I always have something to say about them, even if I don't blog it.

Honestly. I could be sitting here, bored, without any ideas.

And then as soon as someone mentions politics or a computer I'm up.

On my feet.

Ranting and Raving.

What word(s) do you always make a typo in?

Yes

Okay, we hate to ask, but... over the roll or under the roll?  

OVER!

Congrats - TIME Magazine voted you "Person of the Year"!  What's your acceptance speech?

Honestly, couldn't you have come up with one person? Like Al Gore maybe?

Thanks, but no thanks.
