BioHi, I'm Michael.
My account here is mainly to follow the journals of friends acquaintances and (of course) other interesting people here on LiveJournal. Although I sometimes post in my LJ account, my true journal is Fascination Place, which you can read here by subscribing to![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif)
fascination_plc.
I'm a fortysomething programmer living in Silicon Valley, and I'm a fan of science fiction (the written kind, less so the media kind), comic books, and baseball. I listen to a lot of progressive rock, watch old movies, bicycle, and play strategy games. I have two cats, and a girlfriend, who also has two cats, giving us, in total, a lot of cat fur. My journal is basically about my life and my various interests such as these.
Occasionally with bad puns.
Life is good.
