Welcome to my website! As I'm sure you've gleaned from the header, my name is John Porter. I'm currently an undergraduate student at the University of Washington double majoring in Materials Science & Engineering and Human-Centered Design & Engineering with a concentration in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). While most of my time is firmly occupied by school-related stuff, I try to relax whenever possible to prevent the onset of insanity.
I am a proud and self-proclaimed geek, and as such I spend far too much time aimlessly wandering about the net. When time permits, I indulge my inner gamer, and when I'm feeling up for something a little less interactive I chip away at my goal of watching every good movie ever made (needless to say, I have a ways to go).
Some of my favorite...
Games: Kingdom of Loathing, Commander Keen, Half-Life, and Fallout 3
Books: Jitterbug Perfume, The Call of the Wild, Snow Crash, Neuromancer, Brave New World, and Candide (in a completely non-pretentious way)
Movies: Primer, Waking Life, Blade Runner, Dark City, and Children of Men
