biographical info
Thomas, of the name “Thomas and the Evil Computer,” is one Thomas Wintergreen, a 6-year-old boy from Salt Lake City, Utah who keeps an electronic journal on his home computer. Unbeknownst to either Thomas or his mother Abigail, the 233 Mhz processor at the heart of their home PC was subject to a freak cosmic coincidence which had bestowed the computer with a soul of pure evil.
The computer, hell bent on gaining control of the entire planet, began using its idle processor time to create math-laced caffeine-pop. Gaining its musical knowledge from the soundtracks of Thomas’ video games, the computer composed and arranged the music with ease, yet the computer found that it was unable to compose lyrics of its own. Staying true to its evil nature, the computer had ‘borrowed’ liberally from Thomas’ journal.
Thus, the collaboration between Thomas and the Evil Computer was born.
