So, as you should know my now, my name is Colin Stobbe.  I was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) and lived there most of my life (with the exception of a year in Vancouver when I was really young, and two years in Nakuru, Kenya from '82-84).  In 1997, I moved to Abbotsford, B.C. (Canada) to study computer animation, only to move back to Winnipeg a few years later.  If you want to know more about me, I've started writing a bit of a history about myself.

About 8 or 9 years ago, I came up with the name "Sorvan" to use in a story I was writing, and have been using it as a pseudonym on BBSs and other stuff since then.  A while back, while searching for myself on the internet, I plugged in Sorvan, and came up with another guy who made up the name for a story he was working on.  I also found a bunch of other sites, but they weren't in English, so unfortunately I didn't know what they were about.  Finally Peter Stobbe from Germany told me.  Sorvan is Russian for "a madcap fellow" - I'm not going to complain.

From April 24 to June 11, 1998 I travelled through Europe and Israel.  You can <>f for some reason you want to see what kind of music I listen to, I've now got a list of the CDs I own online.  With the advent of CDDB, it makes it just too easy to enter this data.  I used PowerPlay to gather this information, and listen to CDs on my computer.
