My love of Atari is based on more than just the awesomeness of one of the best game systems ever made, it's a family affair. My dad was an Atari employee when the company was still called Syzygy, and continued to do consulting work for the company until 1976, and I grew up on Video Games.

I've always had Atari, there was one in the house before I was even born.

To date, I own almost every system (not counting clones, and I refuse to own a PS3) but surprisingly, my library is is quite small compared to most collectors, but no worries.

About me... I'm a 25 year old artist that lives at home, I enjoy restoring vintage Vespas, rodding VW Bugs, racing my Scirocco, and getting my comic books shut down by publishers. I paint, I draw, and I'm a half decent graphic artist. My game design ideas are great, my programming skills are deplorable, and my social skills are that of a maced Badger.

I spend a lot of time drawing , gaming, and just generally Geeking Out/Nerding it Up. I love cartoons, that's what I watch most of the time, especially vintage cartoons on 16mm (I love my film projector, I have some great WWII Looney Tunes). I also build silly little tech toys for my own entertainment, for instance; I built a blinky panel for the front of my computer, because all futuristic computers have an array of randomly blinking lights... yeah, like I said, silly things.

Anyway, I'm not really that cool, I'm just weird (very weird) I'm what would happen if Andy Dick, Gary Busey, and Seth Green had a baby... visualize that for a minute, and then try to sleep at night.
