stuff about the author

I graduated Carnegie Mellon University in 1998 with a BS in Computer Science and a minor in Industrial Management. I am orignally from Phoenixville PA.
Let me tell you about my name:
My name is Benjamin Stephen Shniper.
The "Stephen" I added myself when I was 15 or so,
I had to go the first half of my life without any
middle name (the PAIN!). My name is from the hebrew
Benyamin Ben Jona (pronounced "yona")
So, I'm Jewish, as you might have guessed, and
American, Israeli, Australian, and Vegitarian.
I never use drugs, so of course I have to use video
games as a substitute. I am currently addicted to:
starcraft, warcraft, magic the gathering, quake, red alert,
angband, lemmings, and many many board games.
I have three sisters (One web-enabled). I am 22 yrs old
My youngest sister is 9 yrs old, My second youngest is
19 yrs old, and my older sister is 23. I also have a half sister in Australia (Narrelle Harvey), who has two kids
(my niece and nephew), at the time of this writing.
My girlfriend Daphne says I'm "cute and smart".
All of these people who have links have it on my links page.
That's where all the people I know are.

Okay, here are some links to my hobbies:
