    I missed this discussion somehow the first time I was browsing through the forum.

    I'm a 36 yr old, complete with penis, software developer / consultant living in central Illinois. Currently developing using C# and VB.net. I came across HE from a friend at work, right about when the first podcast started, maybe a little before. I'm married and also have an 8 yr old boy. I read a lot, mostly SCIFI/Fantasy, but also enjoy Dean Koontz and some other fiction writers. I couldn't get into BSG when it started, but I was religiously watching SG-1 and have watched all of Buffy and some Angel. I am also one of the cubicle podcast listeners / vidcast watchers. I would be watching it live but I've usually got something to do around the house or am putting my son to bed.

    So yeah.. I'm Chris, male (because you have to say so with androgynous names) 30 for a couple more weeks, work as a computer tech and live in the uncool part of Florida. I found the comic by way of Pownce when I was just randomly adding people in the beta stage and found Joel. My strict criteria for adding people was based on user name, avatar and location. Something about his art clicked with me so I clicked on it and the rest is history when I found it was from the comic. Been nice seeing the evolution of the strip and now the addition of the podcast means I dedicate a good portion of my week to Mr Watson and friends. Figured it was time to hop on the forum wagon and give just a bit more.

    I've just realized that I haven't posted in here yet.

    My name is Cameron, male, I'm turning 24 this year and just now starting college. I discovered Hijinks Ensue around September last year and have been a Fancy Bastard ever since. I came originally for the funny comics, but I stayed for the community. Here I have discovered my true geek herd. I'm really excited that Joel launched The Experiment and I'd really like to keep Hijinks Ensue a career for Joel.

    Other things about me. I was in the Army (Military Intelligence, no joke), mostly to get some sweet, sweet GI Bill college money, and I'm glad that I'm done doing that. I'll be studying Comp Sci starting this semester. My geek interests include: BSG, all things Star Trek, all things Whedon, pretty much any 80's movie, emergence in internet culture, D&D, hyper realistic murder simulators, and lots of other niche stuff.

    I really enjoy all you guys, and I hope you don't feel the opposite way about me. Thanks!

    Hey guys.

    I'm Ted. *points up*

    I'm 24, turning 25 in about a month. I live in California's Inland Empire. I work for a small aviation maintenance company, but would eventually like to move into a full-time IT position. (Either with this company as it grows, or elsewhere.) I'm a Debian package maintainer, but my main platform these days is OS X. Studying for CCNA lately.

    I have no idea how I discovered HE. Probably a link in IRC or something, but it's been in my feed reader for a while. (I remember showing HE off to a friend back in like February. He wasn't impressed, but then again, he's an asshole.)

    I read a lot. I'm into Heinlein, mostly. Lately I've been rereading The Sword of Truth series. I'm also a gamer. I have every current gen system except the 360. (List of my systems and games at http://teddyb.org/enclave/tiki-index.php?page=TedReed ) Into BSG (but I've totally fallen behind watching it. :-/). Also a fan of Firefly, Doctor Who, Futurama, Robin Hood (BBC), Deadwood, Carnivale, The Sopranos, and Sex & The City (j/k).

    I participate in something like the SCA, called the Adrian Empire. The most obvious difference is that we use real steel weapons, rather than the rattan that the SCA uses.

    I've been trying to revive a club of gamers that imploded earlier this year as a general geek club, so if you're local check out http://teddyb.org/enclave/

    Hi my name is Matt, i'm 19 and I have a drinking problem (Just jossing). I come from England and discovered HE through generally rambling through the net a fair few months back now but had never bothered with participating and now that the forums are up I have the motivation to do so. I'm a university student studying Modern and Medieval history at the University of Birmingham, my interests generally revolve around books, video games, sci-fi, cult tv, roleplaying and now venture brothers since I recently discovered it, still have to discover new BSG. Currently unemployed and wishing I was eligible for a membership in the penally challenged club... I hear they play Bridge on thursdays.

    Hey guys. My name's Mandy of the penis challenged group, turning 15 in about a month and I'm a geek in training. Am I the youngest person here yet, because I can assure you I'm actually far older mentally than I am physically.

    My geek interests include anything by the fantastic Mr. Joss Whedon (I watched the entire Firefly DVD set followed by Serenity in one sitting), Doctor Who, all things internet, roleplaying, hyper realistic murder simulators and movies. Huge movie geek.

    I love reading and I'm a writer.

    Found the link to HE through a link that linked on the Dr. Horrible fan blog...if that makes any sense, and read through all that was up in one sitting. Recently stumbled across the podcasts and if my computer wasn't set up in the basement room I share with my younger siblings, I would listen as often as I actually should. Hopefully I'll be able to get around to it once school starts.

    Also, if my computer screen doesn't stop vibrating, I'm going to be forced to shove a boot through it. :)

    Hi everyone, my name is John, I'm 21, former game design student and current business school student, and working on a project of my own to see if I too, like Joel, can make a living off it, instead of becoming another cubicle drone. I would like to talk more about my project around here if that's OK.

    Anyway, my interest are history, philosophy, some politics, economics, hyper realistic murder simulators, driving, the intertubes, PC building, aberrations against the lord, members of the opposite sex and science.

    I discovered HE after seeing the strip about the RIAA boss in some news site.

    Welcome to all the recent new people. Most things in the house are harmless, except for when Bill finds out we've been drinking his beer. Then he gets all pissy and starts threatening to ban us. So watch out for him.

    I have a short temper, and I know how to hold a grudge. I'm also well versed in taekwondo and bitch slapping, whichever is your preference. Just don't be a douche (and don't drink my beer), and we'll get on just fine. :)

    In 9th grade we had a female soccer coach/ geometry teacher that smoked pot with her team. We also had two lesbian biology teachers in a love triangle with a student. One teacher was fired and the student was sent to private school.

    A classmate in high school, who directed most of the student shows, had a long-term relationship with a guidance counselor(!), who did all the choreography. And the principal had regular affairs with students year after year. But it was the late 70s and early 80s, and it was all good, clean, hetero fun, so there wasn't any fuss or firings or sendings away to private schools.

    The director classmate turned out to be queer, but that's a different story.
