I'm an easily amused compulsive people watcher. By going through the Web pages which I've created mostly long ago, listed below, you can get a sense of who Steven Morgan Friedman is (consider this to be virtual people watching). Soy el tipo de persona que se sienta en sus cafés favoritos para mirar y analizar a la gente que pasa por la calle. A través de mi sitio web, vos podés hacer lo mismo conmigo, al menos en forma virtual. I'm a busy man, check it:

My favorite favorite Simpsons quotes quotes are their subtle allusions. Los Simpsons tienen frases ingeniosas y sutiles.

I run a listserv, RT, where once a month (or year, more recently) I e-mail observations I make about what I see around me. Una vez al mes escribo un e-mail largo con las cosas que he descubierto recientemente.
