Other Interests

God, what a great sport.

As exciting as math is, I still manage to find time to have other interests (that was sarcasm, in case you missed it). I love to play sports, especially basketball and football. Unfortunately, I've always been too short and uncoordinated to be very good, but you've got to try anyway. Naturally, I do believe that ESPN is the best sports network in the world.

I have recently also developed a taste for rock climbing, even though I do have a fear of heights. I would recommend it to anyone. Here is a good place to check out if you have a chance: Upper Limits.

No web page would be complete without mentioning the Sony Playstation. It is the best time suck anyone could possibly hope for. My favorite games (on the PS) have been Tomb Raiders (I, II, and III) and Final Fantasy (VII, VIII and IX). As for the Playstation 2, well, there's no doubt that SSX Snowboarding is the best game available (I can even get my wife to play it). Two other games that are worth mentioning are Devil May Cry (believe the hype) and Gran Turismo III.
