cool stuff, including a novel called The

. He was born in Washington DC on November
5, 1963,
and his personality type is INTJ. He's a scientist with a Bachelor
of Science degree in Computer Science from the University of
Maryland. He became an Eagle
Scout and a
Vigil Honor member of the Order of the Arrow. Between 1983 and
1997, he played, ran, or otherwise helped out with 56 LARP
games. Before starting Looney
Labs with his wife Kristin,
they both worked for NASA, where in 1993 some of Andy's software
was launched into orbit (as part of the repairs to the Hubble
Space Telescope). Now he gets to create cool stuff for a living
as the Creative
Director for Looney Labs. To date, he's been given 3 US Patents
and 5
Origins Awards. He's a photographer,
a writer of tiny
stories, a cartoonist who draws
broccoli, and an outspoken
marijuana-legalization advocate.
His favorite color is purple,
his favorite foods are steak
and cake, and his favorite
city is Amsterdam. He loves
Tiki Culture, World's
Fairs, and Roller
Coasters. Andy lives in a suburb of Washington DC (near the
Greenbelt subway station) in a house called Wunderland.Earth,
and increasingly in another house across the street called Pepperland.
Andy lives with two beautiful long-haired
women (named Kristin
and Alison), along with a
dog (Molly),
a snake (Benji), and five cats (LittleCat & Shiro
at Wunderland and Toto, Smokey, & Princess at Pepperland).
He's a hippie,
a non-conformist, an inactive video-blogger,
and an introvert who publishes the details of his life every
whenever
at Wunderland.com. He's a hermit
who hates the telephone
(but loves his iPhone)
and who often ignores his email.
He's a night person with odd
sleeping habits, and his alter-ego
is the Emperor of the Universe. His
favorite ways to play
with pyramids are Binary
Homeworlds, Volcano,
and Martian Hold'em.
He wears his
watch on a chain around his neck and he habitually carries
a Stardust
in his pocket. Andy has a small collection of vintage arcade
machines, including a Twilight
Zone Pinball. Sometimes he sells things on eBay.
He loves to travel, he's
still really glad
to be alive, and yes, he likes to drink hot chocolate
using laboratory glassware.
