I have spoken with Frank Chu. Probably like most people who have done so, I didn't understand what the hell he was talking about.

Tualha is a character in A Wizard Abroad (ISBN 0152162380) by Diane Duane. I started using it for a similar character on a MUD, and went on to use it all over the 'net.

Things I like:

• Wikipedia
• Free software
• Several webcomics, including MegaTokyo, Girl Genius, Something Positive, and xkcd
• Science fiction, especially Theodore Sturgeon, Lois McMaster Bujold, Kage Baker
• Good science writing, such as that of Richard Dawkins
• The Koi Kaze anime and its music
• Everything about R.O.D the TV
