He of course demurred and sent THIS link:

which is old but it's just so darn cool I had to post it.

At certain times in my life I have been an avid Trekkie (450 books, 50+
posters, etc...), watched anime (with subtitles) and tried my hand at
writing SF.  Now, tho, it's just LEGO and on-line RPG's (EQ!!!!)

Of course, my character in EQ is named Setsuna Meioh'Ades, so that combines
2 of the above ;)

Love the Tinker Toy PC.  I haven't seen tinkertoys since I was 8ish.
