beccad4wn@gmail.com Currently, I work full-time as a Senior UI Designer for Computer Associates, attend the University of North Texas (I am a graduate student in the Information Science program), and write science fiction/horror stories and game modules. I have authored several murder-mystery dinner parties as well as a complete role-playing system. ThoughtsIn the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.- Douglas Adams What I can not create I can not understand. - Richard Feynman Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. - Albert Einstein Man is the best computer we can put aboard a spacecraft... and the only one that can be mass produced with unskilled labor. - Wernher von Braun When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains. - from Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live in a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. - from "The Call of Cthulhu" by H. P. Lovecraft (1926) (or if you prefer - shudder in fear at the dread Plush Cthulu. His fuzzy green madness knows no bounds)
