About Me:
I'm a chess player getting back into the game after years of absence. So far, so good! I'm also a grad student doing work in Multimedia and Game Studies. I also am an occasional night-club guest-DJ, specializing in goth/industrial/electronic music. I have spun at Ragnarok and Cabaret Nocturne in Melbourne, Australia and at Dark Wave Nights in Montreal. I'm getting back into the game after a long absence, having last played in the third seat on my junior college's chess team some 5-odd years ago. I'm trying to define a style and doing a lot of experimenting with openings, namely the Benoni, right now.

Last night, I (not pictured in the thumbnail, though that's some wicked hair) was at a dance club and, to my pleasant surprise, very early into my outing what should I hear blasting over the sound system but a remix of a song out of Chess: The Mu...Read more »
