Interests

My main interests lie in anesthesiology, sports, and electronics. More specifically:

Anesthesia
- Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER) - A great organization that supports many physician-scientists and student-scientists in furthering anesthesia research.
- GasForums - The best discussion board for all things related to the field of anesthesiology.
Sports
- Sacramento Kings - My favorite basketball team since I can remember. I've never seen them win a championship, but that hasn't made me any less of a fan.
- San Francisco 49ers - The 49ers. They started winning SuperBowls the year I was born, and have never lost a single one, even winning two years in a row (89-90) something only done once before by the 1970s Steelers.
Electronics
- Slashdot - The tech site for nerds like myself.
- Tom's Hardware - Whenever I read the articles on this site, I feel a sudden urge to start buying everything in sight at BestBuy. Good reviews, and lots of pictures. Who can complain.
- Engadget - The hands down best site for all new and upcoming electronic gadgets. I don't know where they get their info, but it usually proves to be very reliable.
