...goes to murphymom. Thanks for the great ideas, everyone, but I was subtly reminded by my lovely and heavily armed wife that the MiL hasn't been to a con in years, and could use the break.

Here's my new bio:

Douglas Berry is many things, some of which are actually legal. A veteran of the US Army, cancer survivor, and proud member of the blue-collar end of the professional world, Doug is perhaps best known for his fairly disturbing obsession with penguins. After getting his start in SF by stealing books from his brother, Doug was introduced to role-playing games in 1977 with Traveller. He's never looked back. He is the author of At Close Quarters (with James Lindsay) and GURPS Traveller: Ground Forces. Over the years, Doug has contributed to many other books, most recently GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars. Currently, Doug is working on The Concordat, a hard science setting for GURPS.

When not writing or scrambling to put food on the table, Doug lives in San Jose with Kirsten, his wife of 15 years, and horde of stuffed animals. He lists "baseball" as his religious preference and enjoys impersonating Pope Innocent III. He can be recognized by the battered SF Giants cap and ever-present can of Coke. It is recommend that you do not mention Game 6 of the 2002 World Series around him.

Critiques welcome.

Thanks, but I have been told I should try and keep down my intake of high velocity metals.

Oh, do you like hot peppers?

I'd read about ARC and the nano nerve repair, but that capsican article was new to me. Very interesting, and a good excuse to eat more salsa!
