      • In response to: "What's the one thing you're never gonna give up?" I don't think I could give up running. It's something I need to do to in order to keep from feeling rotten all the time. Fortunately, running is something that nearly everyone can do throughout life.

    • Name a movie that frightened you.
      • My Big Fat Greek Wedding

        I saw this movie with my fiancee two weeks before we were to get married. It was a very ominous experience. The two families eerily paralleled hers and mine. My family is reserved, Emily's is, well, exuberant. It made such an impression that seven years later, I still remember the name of the father was Gus Portokalos. The thing that made the movie scary was that I was fine with all the marriage preparation that we had been doing all along, but that was the moment when the reality of it all hit me. I think I also made Emily nervous, because she probably saw me sitting silent and still in my seat with my eyes bugging out.

        It's a good thing everyone got along in the end!

    • You'll find "Reader's Digest" atop my toilet
      • Smithsonian
        All kinds of articles with big words that make me look smarter than I really am.


        Runner's World
        A little bit of motivation, a little bit of guilt, a little bit of product placement


        Reader's Digest
        This one belongs to Emily. I don't read it. They collect in the upstairs bathroom, where David likes to look at the pictures while he sits you-know-where.


        Bon Appetit
        Most of the recipes look good, and most of the photography in the last year is so harshly lit that it's completely unappetizing. We usually aim to make one or two new recipes a week.


        IEEE Spectrum
        All kinds of articles for and about EE nerds. It's a great way to make you question your career path.


        Automotive Design & Production
        This is what a car magazine should be like, focused on the engineers who make cars reality.

    • I'm turning into my parents
      • My grandfather and father both have patterns of mailing newspaper clippings, and now look at me. I'm emailing links to newspaper articles.

    • When I started using the Internet
      • Depending on your age and geek quotient, this prompt could turn into quite a competition. I first started using the internet in 1993 as a student at LBJ High School Science Academy. There was a rickety old clone in the corner of one of the labs that ran Slackware Linux. I used it to email my buddy, who was overseas for a semester with his family. We didn't have a domain name at LBJ, so my email address had an IP after the @. I still remember that IP address to this day. There wasn't much to the web at the time; email, newsgroups, FTP, and Gopher were king! My favorite email client was pine.
