Is this a rook which I see before me, the mouth toward my index finger?

Bio
I suppose I ought to write something here. I wouldn't want you to think that I was an enormous, sentient computer from the Andromeda galaxy merely masquerading as a human to lull your suspicions until the time when my armada of conquering robot arachno-weasels reach Earth. No, that wouldn't do at all.So. The basics. I'm a late-thirties, tall-looming, left-leaning, book-reading, cat-serving, Michigan-living, cheese-eating programmer type guy who, surprisingly, does not have a beard. I am also a fiction writer, and have a finished manuscript making the grand tour of the slush piles of publishers of dark urban fantasy. I have three published short stories, with (hopefully) more on the way. Additionally, I've written much for, and still write a little bit for, Superguy and Sfstory. When I'm not doing that, I create stuff for NeuroGog Designs, my shop on CafePress. I am also on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
Before starting this LiveJournal in November 2004, I had an online journal ("Big Tall Man"; April 1999 - April 2000) and a weblog ("A Taste of Strange"; October 2000 - October 2002). I also had an essay blog called Novitious (June 2006 - January 2009), the entries for which have been incorporated into this LiveJournal. Someday, perhaps, I'll backload select old entries from BTM and aToS into Novitious. Someday, perhaps, I'll also learn the saxophone, transfer my brain into a stoat, and possibly even finish that Spanish-Klingon translation dictionary I've been meaning to start.
It burns! It burns!
