    <about><![CDATA[     As you may have guessed I read a lot of nonfiction.  In the upcoming months, I will read some classic science fiction.  The GOOD stuff - The real deal.  Some Phillip K. Dick.  You know, the edgy stuff.  I like to read stuff that twist around your mind.  That makes you think.  Writing that makes you uncomfortable.  Because lets face it, most of us are just a little too comfortable.]]></about>
