quirks

He pronounces

He tends to spell

• i in lowercase (just as me, je, moi, ich, yo)

brotherly remarks

Brian is also my brother, and i consider him the überest geek in our family — a family of geeks, including six ham radio operators, who use various computer platforms, and play musical instruments ranging from trombone to harp. He is one of the people i ask for tech advice. And, i think he is pretty cool. ;-]
