[ON HIATUS]

<nathan‍@‍goobnet.net>

This is Nathan.

He likes space, football, and computers. He dislikes inaccuracy, conformity, and logical fallacies.

For example, he likes to say that he uses the word football instead of soccer because "It's the sport where you use your foot to kick a ball."

He and Reg started GoobNet way back in 1997. Nathan does the Weekly Whine every week, unless it's Interaction or something from one of the other staff members.

Nathan's also responsible for GoobNet Football. He's not really sure why he likes football so much, other than that it's just about the only team sport in which just about every nation participates, and it's the only sport at which "I only mostly suck."

Space is very important to him. One reason for this is that he thinks humans have really fucked up their society, and that somebody should start all over again someplace else. But mostly it's because of the different gravity levels.

Nathan can be hard to get used to. He relentlessly corrects other people's spelling and grammar, relentlessly uses Système International units and twenty-four hour time [describing those who don't as "twelvies"], and relentlessly expresses dates and times in Universal Time Coordinated.

In the entertainment world, he has great contempt for popular musicians [especially Britney "Spheres"] and popular movies [especially those horrid "romantic comedies"]. Instead, he prefers electronic dance and foreign films [subtitled please, no dubbing].

He likes to present outrageous statements in deadpan fashion and observe the response.

He dislikes people who are wrong. Especially when the person in question is himself.
