Okay, first the name, '''Serak''': It's a corruption of [[Sarek|'''Sarek''']], the [[Vulcan_(Star_Trek)|Vulcan]] ambassador from the [[Star Trek]] series. When I first got onto the internet, '''Sarek''' was already being used by someone else on Yahoo!, so my guts felt it was time for a '''vowel''' movement (hee,hee).

Little did I know, an internet search for "Serak" results in 'The Simpsons' TV show, Indian martial arts, and even Hawaiian vertebrates. Guess it's hard to come up with something truly unique.

==General Information==
I won the [[Nobel Prize]] in Transcendental Economics for the year 2000! The votes were counted, and re-counted, by an official known only as "[[Chad (paper)|Mr. Chad]]" who lives in [[Florida]].

The most ironic thing occurred in 1983 at the airport in [[Tokyo, Japan]]: Watching [[Spider-Man]] cartoons on TV, dubbed in [[Japanese language|Japanese]] with [[English language|English]] subtitles! Wierd!.

I think this Wikipedia idea is one of the best things to come around in a
long time!

Presently located in [[Tulsa,_Oklahoma|Tulsa,Oklahoma]] and have lived in [[Austin, Texas]], [[Martinsburg, West Virginia]], [[Houston, Texas]] area (twice), and even just outside of [[Seoul, South Korea]].

Right now, you'll find most of my contributions are related to music. I've been playing [[Flamenco]] and [[Classical guitar]] for about..(mumble,mumble)..years.
I've even had a lesson or two from the [[flamenco]] guitarist [[Ronald Radford]] when he used to live in Tulsa.

Have recently started learning to play piano (well, [[MIDI]] organ). Playing classical/flamenco guitar hasn't been much help with right-left hand coordination. Reading [[treble clef|Treble]] and [[bass clef|Bass]] clef ''at the same time?'' Yech!

It seems, a whole new generation has discovered "Tolkien is Hobbit forming!"... Frodo Lives! Poor Bilbo isn't getting much attention anymore.
