Amy: you know how when you're standing with a girl on the end of a San Francisco pier one gorgeous summer evening and you turn to look at her and the diffuse glow of the sun setting behind the Golden Gate streams through her hair and she smiles at you wondering why you're staring at her and you can't speak because you're struck dumb with awe and wonder at the sight? That's why...

Music: ...because life IS music. It evokes everything we are and colors how we see everything around us. Music is the best way for me to express my soul...

Epinions: Found the site in 2002, posted a few Sting reviews, was warmly welcomed by some wonderful people, and discovered that I wanted more. I'm an avid cheerleader for Epinions, and I won't apologize for believing that, right now, the community is better than it's ever been. And that it will only get better...

Cingular: Yay for good jobs with good pay and good people! I've worked for this company six years now, and I hope that this is the place I end my career - many, many years from now...

SF Giants/49ers: Born and raised in these venerable SF traditions. Third generation Forty-Niner Faithful. Think the Giants' stadium-by-the-bay is one of the finest ballparks ever built.

Dallas Mavericks: Had to adopt at least one of the local teams, and there was no way I could go with the hated Cowboys or the Texas Rangers. Never cared much about the Golden State Warriors while I lived in the SF area, but the Mavs are a lot of fun to watch.

Popomundo: Oh don't get me started on this one. It's a game. It's an addiction. Please. Just say no.
