I spent part of today (when my son was napping) filling out tests/questions on OkCupid. Not because I'm actively looking for someone to date, but because I enjoy taking tests and answering questions. Sad, I know. 
So, to get more questions out of the way:
Stolen from Manda, from a long string of other sexy women. Good thing I'm here to completely break that cycle.
A is for age: A week shy of 30.
B is for booze: Beer, as long as you can't see through it.
C is for career: Can finally say I have a plan!
D is for dad's name: Dad's name is Tom (Thomas).
E is for essential items to bring to a party: Everyone knows I bring a Palm Pilot; because if I were to ever get a woman to give me her number, pulling the Palm Pilot out would ensure she gave me the wrong one...
F is for favorite song at the moment: I really like Silent Man, by Dream Theater.
G is for girlfriend: Got pr0n?
H is for hometown: Hail from Springfield, Oregon
I is for instruments you play: Ivories. Well, okay. Plastics now.
J is for jam or jelly you like: Jam/Jelly---doesn't matter, as long as it's sugar free.
K is for kids: Keeping it at 1 for the time being.
L is for living arrangements: Live in a rented house, along with a cow-orker and his girlfriend.
M is for mom's name: Maiden name is Wyatt, and she goes by Teri Sue.
N is for name of a friend: Names of my friends include Paul, Dave, Kevin, and of course the ones listed above...
O is for overnight hospital stays: Only done it twice.
P is for phobias: Probably heights, but not high ones; I'm okay looking out of an airplane window, but I can't stand looking over a second story balcony.
Q is for quote you like: Quote from my old mentor, Alan House, on computers: There is no magic in this box.
R is for relationship that lasted longest: Relegated to my ex-wife, right at 5 years.
S is for sexual position: Sadly, my ex was pretty conservative...
T is for time you wake up: Ten O' Clock, if left to my own devices; 7:00 for work.
U is for unique trait/feature: Understanding, and am a great listener.
V is for vegetable you love: Very into asparagus.
W is for worst trait//feature: Weight. Not that I'm hugely obese or anything, but I've got about 20 pounds of beer gut I'd like to see fall off when I get up in the morning.
X is for x-rays you've had: X-rays for teeth, arm, and other random things.
Y is for yummy food you make: You ask me to make it, and I'll give it my best.
Z is for zodiac sign: Zygote in April of '74, born on 31 January of '75. Which would make me an Aquarius. And a Tiger, for those of you who keep track. (And for those of you paying attention, I'm still a Tiger because the Chinese new year was after January 31st of '75).

Will insert the markup to make the questions italicized.
Have I mentioned I am *really* into regular expressions?

yeah, i do like the starbucks coffee, but the atmosphere is not quite right for me. i actually don't even really even like coffee, it's just one of the only types of places that are cheap and conducive to good conversation.
