Hobbies

• Games of all sorts -- I generally prefer modern German-style games, but I enjoy lots of other things as well. Some of my current favorites are:
  • Tichu
  • Le Havre
  • Agricola
  • Tigris and Euphrates
  • Twilight Struggle
  • Power Grid
  • War of the Ring
  • Puerto Rico
  • Age of Steam
  • Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage
  • 1960: The Making of the President
    
    
• Music -- Singing, writing, and playing keyboards. For the last four years, I've played keyboard and sung in the band at my local church, Victory Point Ministries. I've written several songs in the last few years. I'm in the process of recording them into a (very amateur) CD project in my basement. I do some sequencing and music-related computer programming, and I am currently taking voice lessons.
  
  Here is my current basement setup, including a Yahama digital piano, a Roland RS-50 synth, a small mixer, and a (very old) laptop that I use for MIDI sequencing:
