(Done by cut and paste from Lynne's post; yell at me if I missed anything
that was in the original....)

Current Name: Palmer T. Davis
Alter Ego: C-Hawk
Birith Date: What's today's date, Birith?  *rumble*  September 10, I guess...
Birth Date: 1/12/69
Residence: Cleveland Heights, OH
Sex: Male
Gender: Mumble
Sexual Orientation: Kinsey 2.71828..., Benjamin 4 (which is why my persona
on alt.callahans is a shapeshifter....) 
Marital Status: I'm polyamorous and I never fall out of love, but I'm not
presently contemplating a mono marriage.
Offspring: not yet
Siblings: none
Blood Type: We did blood typing twice in biology labs at Deerfield.  The
first time I tried it, I came up as an O, the second time as an A.  I think
I did something wrong at least one....
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Bluegreen
Height: 5'10"
Dominant Brain Hemisphere: yes.  The other half is submissive.
Physical Deformities: my feet point outward
Music Preferences: Yes, They Might Be Giants, Rush, Dead, REM before they
sold out, Jefferson Airplane, assorted classical.  I'm pretty catholic in 
my musical tastes; there's very little that I can't stand.
Favourite Books: Do you want the digest or the core dump?  (Wander around
the SF section of your local bookstore, pull half the titles off the shelf
(including everything by Heinlein, Varley, and Michael Kube-McDowell),
wander over to the philosophy section, throw half of it on the pile, and
garnish with a few selections from the literature section.)  I tend to 
read vertically (picking up one author and reading everything he or she
has ever written); my current fads are Mercedes Lackey and Bruce Catton.
Favourite Movies: Again, do you really want the core dump?
Pet Peeves: Mindless partisanship on any subject.  Pat Buchanan and the
folks from ACT-UP are both excellent examples of this.
Least Favourite Activities: testing, debugging, scut work
Most Favourite Activities: being involved with really nifty people
Hobbies: sailing, martial arts, wargames, frp, sf, game design, hacking
Political Affiliation: Federalist (unfortunately, I'm the only one....) 
Allergies: grass, trees, dogs, cats (but I can deal with one or two cats
with no problem; it's only when I go crawling around on the floor with 
three dozen kittens that my eyes swell shut, as I found out the hard way
the time I tried volunteering at the local animal shelter....)
Occupation: Professional Grad Student (Comp. E.)
Favourite Foods: Anything spicy.  And ethnic.
What I regret most: Come to think of it, I only really have three regrets
at all.  One has to do with genetics, so we'll ignore that.  The second is
that I let myself get talked out of a computer career when I was looking
at colleges, and wound up screwing around for a couple years before fixing
the mistake.  The last, and I guess the most poignant, is the mess I've 
made of my relationship with someone who doesn't read callahans, so I won't
bore everyone with the details.
Favourite TV shows: ST:TNG, Twin Peaks (RIP... :-( ), news, the darkened 
screen when the set is turned off.
Parting words: I've been procrastinating my return to Callahan's for far
too long.  I'll have to do one of my major big deal production _son_et_ 
_lumiere_ posts after the gathering....
