Adam J. O'Donnell / Javaman
as Javaman
Javaman is a Philadelphian who attempts balance living in academia, the security community, and the real world. He can usually be found in his office trying to stay on top of current research, the local diner drinking too much coffee, or the Philadelphia Walnut Factory wasting time on IRC. He also likes long walks on the beach and engaging in romantic candlelight dinners with various monomaniacal despots extracted from the course of history, brought to life by neurotransmitter imbalances.
