About Me
Hi. I'm Pat Murphy. I'm a recent graduate of the University of Illinois, with my Bachelor's in Computer Science. As of February 08, I'll be working out in Washington with a little software company as a full-time software engineer. Hooray! Anyway, I'm a a nerd, a metalhead, a ninja (okay, not really, but I can pretend, right?) and I love potatoes. When I'm not busy saving the world, I enjoy nerdy computer-y things, music (mostly varieties of metal, with some hints of Rush, as well as some electronica), various TV shows (Heroes, Office, Scrubs...to name a few), anime (I feel like I need to apologize for that one...damn you Jerry), various games (lately it's been Team Fortress 2), running, getting into fist fights with pirates teamed up with lions and bears that can shoot laser beams out of their eyes, and being a ninja.

The ultimate date?
My girlfriend
gets taken hostage by pirates. I summon a helicopter
and fly out over the pirates' ship, 20,000 feet in the air. I drop
down using a 20,000 foot ethernet cable in the middle of the night;
naturally I move unnoticed because I'm a ninja. Then, I kill all of
the pirates in one swift jump kick (the kick results in a death wave
that wipes out all pirates). I then take my girfriend in my arms
who looks into my eyes and says, "My ninja!". We then walk atop
the ocean (hover boots, for those of you who are skeptical) back
to shore so that we may finish dinner. Basically I'd just be a totally
awesome badass.
