Q1: What's your name in real life?

A2: I manage an engineering team at Intel that studies how software interacts with various computer designs and provides insight to enable architectural design decision-making and roadmap planning.

Q3: What's an interesting thing about you?
A3: The first Bungie game I played was Pathways Into Darkness back in 1993 on a Macintosh.  Followed by Marathon, Marathon 2 Durandal, Myth: the Fallen Lords, Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST, and now Reach.  They should have something better than a Spartan helmet next to my gamertag for that.
