Welcome to Peregrine's Nest

So, ya want a little background on me, Eh?

Hello.  Greetings and Salutations to those of you who are visiting this page.  Likely, you're a friend of mine, but if some random web event has brought you here, Welcome.  I am Peregrine (No, that's not my real name, but upon taking a Latin course many years ago, it seemed the best Handle when I went online in 93.).  Peregrine is Latin for Wanderer, which is what I was way back in those days, and still am to a degree now.

Background: Let's see, this will be a little boring.  I'm me....normal guy, trying to figure out how to live in a weird world.  Um, I'm a little obsessive with Movies, comic books, music.  I grew up in a small town, and had to move out of that town as it felt...restrictive.  Um, let's see..other basics.  :-)  32 (33 in a few months), Computer Technician, whose been online over 10 years now, frighteningly enough.

Anything else ya wanna know, please feel free to send me mail.

My website has been updated so that my former Rants page has now been incorporated into a weblog.  Check out Chris's Weblog! (attempts will be made to  update this every day or so)

Gaming And Interests                     

Years ago, My best friend Randy introduced me to the concept of Role-Playing, which to me was very much like acting. Over the years, I have learned LOTS of systems, including Rifts, TOON, Palladium, Star Wars, and several more. Almost Ten years ago (August 1994) several friends got me into a game run by Lynette Cowper.

The main system that Lyn runs is GURPS, and thanks to several factors, I got to meet Steve Jackson. If you don't know who Steve Jackson is, well, check his homepage. I don't think I can POSSIBLY describe Steve.  SJG puts out LOTS of cool games, one of which I'm trying to become a Guru at, Killer.  One that you should play at a convention is Steve's "Lego Pirates" game...don't let the inferior imitation from Wizkids fool you...Lego is the way to go.

Well, I should probably go ahead and start putting down some of my links. On this page I am going to list my friends who have links. On my bookmarks page I will list a bunch of other sites, including a lot of TV and Media sites.

Altho, I'll list my latest "wish/obsession" here...City of Heroes...which is an online Mass Market Online Role Playing Game....in it, you create a superhero, and go around the city, righting wrongs and all such.  Yes, I want it...yes, I want to create many fun characters for it...soon!

And, let's not forget the FIRST place you should go if you have a movie question.  IMDB!

And, for those with faster connections, I have an Image Intensive Bookmark Page.  Enjoy.
