My name is Eric, but most of my friends (including my woman) call me Phu. It's a nick that's been around since middle school (I'm 25, 26 on April 18). Being called Eric is actually pretty strange at this point, unless I'm talking to my parents! They live in MN and I live in FL. I plan on moving back up north in a couple years; Florida sucks.
I love to program; I'm now running IT for a timeshare phone room. Systems administration was never something I was interested in, but it's not so bad now that I've switched the office over to Linux. I graduated from Iowa State U in '03 with a useless degree in computer science. I also run a bunch of forums and own way too many domains (over a dozen now, I think).
I adore movies, though I can't stand TV (commercials make me want to break things). Lately my girlfriend and I have been watching Star Trek: TNG; we're almost done, and I've started watching Enterprise. Sci fi RULES!
I loved Joes when I was a kid; I got back into them not too long ago when I realized they had been releasing new ones. When I started posing them on my desk and making up humorous little stories with them, I figured someone else had to be doing something similar -- I had no idea how many people were, though! I enjoy building sets; my first was a dojo, the second was a public restroom, and now I'm working (VERY slowly) on an industrial facility that promises to be pretty darn cool.
My main interest at this point is molding and casting custom figures; it's tough, and I have not gotten the results I want yet, but I'm still working on it. I have a couple customs (an alley viper and a Star Trek redshirt) that I'm hoping to produce in reasonable quantity once I acquire an injection molding machine.
