Okay, that rather spacy fellow to the left is my human counterpart. Now, If you are one of those people saying: "What do you mean counterpart? Of course you're human. You cannot be a toon!", then I would say that you have a very limited and unimaginative way of looking at the world.I do software development for a living. I've been working in the IT industry since the early 90's doing back-end software and system design, largly in the credit card and check cashing realm. Over the years I've written everything from life simulators to fractal generators to games to compilers in everything from BASIC to C to assembly to Delphi. Currently I contrac myself out under my company name, A Fox Consulting & Design.
When I'm not at work I'm usually at home enjoying cartoons or chatting online with friends. I try to visit Disney World at least once a year to relax, have fun, drink, and hang with mah toon buddies. I also try to make it to one furry con a year. I use to go to Anthrocon yearly but it's gotten too big and ugly, so now it's Midwest FurFest.
In the early 90's I ran a BBS called Hidden File Arsenal for a few years and was part of Fidonet; a world-wide ameture message network, a REAL message network. This was all before The Internet came along and pretty much destroyed the world of BBS's.
The Furry Side...
I am (obviously) a big fan of cartoons which helped inspire me to create my character, Andy Fox. Classic Warner Bros. cartoons, Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs top my realm of fandom. Tom & Jerry and Bonkers (the Robert Taylor episodes) are also in there.
I've been active in the furry community since 2003 when I attended my first furry convention (Anthrocon). Since then I've attended a half-dozen more. I've done pretty much everything in the furry community from writing fan fiction to fursuiting to drawing furry art.
Photography...
Photography has been a loose hobby of mine since around 1996. I focus mainly on nature photography, scenery and animals. Here is my gallery.
Electronics...
I also dabble in digital circuitry. I've built and programmed complete microcontroller systems. I also poke and tinker with different things. Currently I'm playing with BASIC Stamp modules and some LEGO Mindstorms robotics. Go visit my lab.
Miscellaneous...
Music: I like many strange types of music including Wierd Al, They Might be Giants, Crash Test Dummies, REM, U2, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and music from the 80's.
Movies: My favorite movies are ones that screw with your mind, good melodramas, or just plain-old good action movies. The top ones include: Watership Down, Plague Dogs, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Blue Velvet (or most anything from David Lynch), Pi, Hackers, Dune, Contact, Casablanca, Sunset Boulevard, The Mechanic, Unbreakable, Armageddon, Sling Blade, and Donnie Darko (gee, wonder what that says about my psychological state).
Other Hobbies/Intrests: I like to bike, though I don't do it hardly as much as I use to. I have a chemistry lab in my garage where I do everything from making glowing liquids to home-made fireworks. I enjoy collecting rocks, being a toon, Star Trek, fractals, chaos, and 10-dimensional cosmic strings.
Well, that's all I can think of right now.
