Henrik Harbin was born on May 28, 1965 in Redwood City, California, current home of the Internet.

Henrik is a student at Palomar College in San Marcos, California. His past classes have included English Literature, History, Philosophy, Psychology, and a few courses in beginning Mathematics, although he usually claims to have an "allergy to math". He does intend to confront and overcome this problem eventually, although it has remained a thorn in his side.

An amateur writer, Henrik has written a few stories for Palomar College's literary magazine, Bravura.

Some of his personal interests include:

KISS (especially Ace Frehley);

all versions of Star Trek, especially anything having to do with the Klingons;

reading science fiction novels and short stories;

watching movies(his all-time favorite film is Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country);

and a new interest in the culture, language, and history of Japan, which started when he saw his first anime series, Kimba the White Lion. (His current favorite anime series are Kino's Journey, Cromartie High School, Devil Lady, GANTZ, Witchblade, Pani Poni Dash), and a few others. He also likes older anime, such as Gatchaman (known in America as G-Force and Battle of the Planets). A series of DVDs for the live-action comedy/variety show Vermilion Pleasure Night has also piqued his interest.

On May 14, 2011, Henrik attended a concert by the Japanese band Loudness, with his friends Josh Dunn and Elisa Luevanos. Thanks to the expertise and kindness of Josh, the three of them met all of the band members and spoke with most of them. The concert itself was so loud that Henrik didn't recover some of his hearing for almost a week. He is extremely grateful to Josh and Elly for coming with him and hopes that they can attend more shows.

Henrik doesn't watch very much network television, but some recent favorites have been Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Real Time with Bill Maher, The Rachel Maddow Show, and spotty viewings of The Food Nework and The SciFi Channel. He started watching America's Got Talent in 2008, rooting most heavily for Eli Mattson.

Although Henrik is not politically motivated as much as some would like him to be, he is a registered Democrat with Liberal tendencies. He voted against Proposition 8, as well as voting for the election of American President Barack Obama. He supports Gay Rights, although he is heterosexual.

A subscriber to Youtube, Henrik especially likes watching videoblogs of users from other cultures. One of his favorite blogs is by Geriatric1927, although he will watch the occasional Japanese commercial for Tarako pasta sauce or other strange stuff. He has been suspended from Youtube three times to date, and is currently subscribed to Youtube under the name KirneH004. Additionally, after his brother, Marc, died of cancer, Henrik was adopted by Marc's cat, Roger; she has a Youtube account under the name MsRogerKitty. Both accounts are maintained by Henrik, as Roger herself has no thumbs.

Henrik also subscribes to Veoh, a video site that has less concerns over copyright infringement than Youtube does (at least one of his Youtube suspensions arose from his posting of anime music videos to Youtube. Most of those AMVs are now on Veoh.

Henrik is also a largely inactive supporter of Net Neutrality.

Henrik has been an active subscriber to DeviantArt for about two years. He has also found interest in the art sites ICanHasCheezBurger? (home of the lolcats internet meme), RedBubble, and Gizmoz, an animation site that allows users to make their own animated avatars and short video clips.

Along with a small amount of Japanese, Henrik speaks English (his first language), and varying amounts of French, Danish, and fragmentary amounts of German, and tlhIngan Hol, the language of the Klingons from Star Trek. Although his mother was born in Casablanca, Morocco, during the time that it was a French colony, Henrik speaks no Arabic himself.

He also goes on monthly "mall invasions" in Escondido, California, usually spending an entire Monday at Westfield North County, which formerly went under the name North County Fair. He is also a frequent shopper at Barnes and Noble.

A fan of Playstation 2 and Nintendo DS, Henrik has been known to play such games as Destroy All Humans, Godzilla: Save the Earth, the Soulcalibur and Tekken series, and the Samurai Warriors series. Since his PS2 has been damaged by dust for some time, Henrik has not used it for about a year. His favorite Nintendo DS games include Zenses: Rainforest and Deal Or No Deal.

Henrik has congenital hydrocephalus with left hemiplegia. He has had several Shunt revisions, but those are thankfully extremely infrequent.

Henrik has been known to suddenly blurt out the word "squirrel!" at full volume, just to make his friends laugh.
