Jason is a polymath of the Third Coast variety having mastered hunting, gumbo-ing and hurricane wrasslin'. Despite a track record of three high speed wipe-outs in as many weeks, he is still working on mastering motorcycles. In the interim, he spends his days slanging technology for The Man whilst daydreaming about owning a tiki bar on the Adriatic Coast.
Although Jim was born and raised in Baytown, he doesn't reek of chemicals or glow in the dark ... most of the time. When he's not busy being fascinated by useless trivia online, he spends his time seeking the perfect slice of pizza, trying to make it into Bartlett's Familiar Quotations and wondering if he's the only person on Earth who really doesn't get the point of Twitter.

Mary Jane was born in Houston and raised way out in the Hill Country, where eating out involved “going to town.” She moved to Houston to attend college and promptly fell in love with the city, vowing never to live anywhere else, ever. Growing up in a home where gravy is a beverage, she developed an addiction to fried chicken and bacon cheeseburgers, but has expanded (literally and figuratively) into a devoted fan of many different cuisines. In her spare time, MJ cooks, gardens, engages in home remodeling, loves live music, karaokes at every opportunity, reads, swills beer and wine (normally with a group of friends, of course), searches out new restaurants, vacations off the beaten path, collects old stuff of all varieties (read: crap and antiques), bravely attempts to play guitar and follows local sports, especially roller derby and football.
A self-professed computer geek and Internet junkie, Eric can be found online most of the time sucking up bandwidth that makes most Internet providers cringe. During the few random days of a Houston winter, the heat from his computers keeps his home warm. He is also part of the Technology Bytes radio show, where he screens calls for the show from 8 to 10 p.m. every Wednesday on KPFT.
Brittanie lives in the Montrose and loves every minute of it. She's in a running club that sometimes requires her to swim across bayous (true), and she often has poison ivy. She prefers two wheels to four, beer in a bottle and Coca-Cola in a can. She is addicted to Blistex Herbal Answer, which is becoming increasingly more difficult to find. She keeps a blog. From May 2005 to November 2007 she lived in Korea and is extremely happy to be back in H-Town. Her favorite thing about Houston is the summers (also true).
Kaylan is an artist, writer and self-proclaimed turophile. Her hobbies include (but are not limited to) drawing inappropriate things or caricatures, traveling, yoga and dental hygiene. She lives in a tree house in Montrose with her dog Gretta.
