Site History
This site has been around in multiple incarnations since November of 2000. It was originally a personal blog, chronicling literally every single uninteresting thing that I ever did in college. It went permanently dormant at some point in 2005. In March of 2007 I just nuked it and started over.

My original domain name "sabotender.org" expired in 2002 because I forgot to enable auto-renew, so I registered this one. HDO stands for Hokage Dot Org; the word hokage being Japanese in origin, stemming from the anime series Naruto (hey, it was cool and niche way back in the day. I can has Narutard). I thought about registering another domain name many a time, but to be honest I've grown attached to this one and am generally too lazy to ever switch. So there you go.

All content is managed using Drupal, the content management system of my choice. All entries are edited in Notepad++ or Google Docs.


World of Warcraft
My WoW main, and pretty much the only character that I care about playing is Keiya, a protection paladin retribution paladin (as of 3.0) who I rolled on November 27th, 2004 (technically earlier if you count open Beta). I was holy in vanilla WoW, and protection in the Burning Crusade. My one and only other high level character is Doombeard, the lovable level 7x 80 Dwarven hunter who gets played whenever I am in the mood. What can I say, I'm not really much of an alt whore.


Favorite Music
Pretty much anything other than country western or rap. I do though, like hip-hop and some of the more mainstream soundting country, it's the really twangy shit that bothers me. I mostly listen to rock, metal, video game and anime soundtracks. Specific artists and groups that I listen to frequently:

Foo Fighters (<3 favorite), AC/DC, Daft Punk, Green Day, Jonathan Coulton, The Killers, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins.


Favorite Television Shows
Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Stargate Atlantis, Firefly, Star Trek (TNG, ToS, Voy, DS9, & Enterprise, in that order), Stargate SG-1, CSI.

Favorite Movies   
The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Star Wars Trilogy (the original :P), Serenity, Star Trek IV, The Goonies, Total Recall, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Any Miyazaki film.

Favorite Books
Riftwar cycle by Raymond E. Feist (favorite author), Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, Dragonlance series by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, Les Miserables by Victor Hugo.
