Interests This user loves steel truss bridges, but is so fascinated by transporter bridges that he Wikinamed himself after them. This user is interested in steam locomotives especially streamliners. This user is interested in architecture. This user is interested in Prairie School architecture, and especially, but not only, the homes designed c. 1900–1915 by Frank Lloyd Wright. This user is, however, of the opinion that Frank Lloyd Wright, the user's favorite architect, was a genius designer, a so-so engineer, and an utterly loathsome human being.

This user likes heavy metal, especially metal with clean vocals including speed metal, power metal, female-fronted symphonic metal, and folk metal. This user is interested in typography. This user loves beer and lives by the principle that so-so beer is infinitely preferable to no beer and that no style of beer is worse than so-so. This user also believes that while American-style lager, especially Budweiser, is superbly-made beer, that when good beer drinkers die they go to Belgium. This user loves movies and books about the zombie apocalypse, especially ones with slow, lumbering and unintelligent zombies.
