about me

Hi. I'm Pat Murphy. I graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor's in Computer Science. I've been working with a little software company in Washington as a full-time software engineer since February '08. 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 (Arrested Development, Firefly, Big Bang Theory...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 obviously 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.
