The Truth Behind The Geek (*creative liberties taken for the benefit of the reading audience)
James, who operates the websites (http://james.colannino.org/) and his blog (http://www.crazydrclaw.com), can program "a tiny bit" in C but aspires to learn Assembly language (who doesn't!). James, who likes to read and write fantasy (again, who doesn't!), was grateful for the release of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, as it provided him that neutral ground between obsessive Star Trek and Star Wars fans.
