Hello,
My name is Kyle. I'm 21 years old. I like new ideas in physical science and technology. My political views are conservative.
I like to read books, play my "Xbox 180," and play on the computer.
I am currently reading: Xenocide by Orson Scott Card (who also wrote Ender's Game), and Halo: The Flood.
"Xbox 180" is my nickname for my Original Xbox, my favorite games are The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (GoTY edition), the Halos, Forza Motorsport, and Splinter Cell. I might change my signature to a picture that contains those 4 games.
I took an Advanced Computer Education class where I learned HTML, so I am trying to pick that up again. I am also interested in Binary. I first got into binary because that way I can count to 1023 on my fingers. I am trying to memorize the numbers (both decimal and binary) that represent the ASCII code. It is neat because you can hold down Alt and type a number between 0 and 255 on the keypad and you get certain characters. I've adopted a smiley that is Alt + 154: Ü. Alt + 175 is a forward double arrow: ». I've noticed that some numbers, if I go to high or to low don't show.

Hi welcome to WP, I have read some of the Halo novels, The Flood is good for a view at what was hapening behind the game, I liked Yayap in it. Though personaly I prefer The Fall of Reach or Ghosts of Onyx, the books are good to look at the background story, now I always call Masterchief John.

I finished both of those books, was kind of disappointed in the ending of Xenocide, but the reason is more personal.  The Halo book was awesome.
I might get a job soon. The application is being processed and I went in for an interview. At the end of the interview I said that I have Asperger's, and I found out that the interviewer's son has PDD-NOS.
Thank you all for replying. I am currently playing Knight of the Old Republic on my Xbox. I haven't decided on a book to read.

I hope you get the job that's best for you.
It must be lonely to be a conservative in Olympia. I want to put up a McCain/Palin sign but every one of my neighbors has an Obama sign up. Sometimes people get insane about your politics. I'm not sure how much animosity I want to arouse.
Once, one of my husband's co-workers asked my husband why he wanted little kids to go hungry! |
