The character of Disney's Aladdin had a profound effect on me growing up. I used to start a lot of my sentences with, "... well actually" but now I just think it. I think it's rude for me to go on talking about myself, but I'll answer any direct question... almost.

The two greatest compliments I have ever received were, "You remind me of Jon Stewart" and "You're not a guy. Guys are jerks, you're better than that."

I have free climbed big rocks in Italy, had a cocktail in Katar, visited coffee farms in Colombia, and had more than three cups of tea in Afghanistan; I've gone to the beach in Canada, had an apartment in Germany, a traditional English breakfast in Brittany, and really good wine and cheese in France. I have laid floors, remodeled homes, painted walls and swung a sledge hammer. I've fixed radar, made nylon, extracted DNA, and identified proteins. I have purchased myself a POS Subaru, two motorcycles, a BMW, and a Volvo. I've driven cross country, camped out under the stars, been swept away by a big city, and sipped sweet tea on a front porch... but I haven't met you yet. Here's hoping we can remedy that.

I spend most of my time learning things. If I learn all the things, I'm sure I'll get a prize or something... like, some sweet bunny slippers. That would be rad.

I have traveled all over the world collecting quality people. I can be the guy that does the thing, but more often I'm the guy that knows the guy.

I don't much care what people notice first. People worth spending time with will notice the good stuff and forgive the rest.

This is a very long list, in all of the categories, ranging from the mundane to the pretentious, from classics to the esoteric. I like art. I think it's pretty neat.

Zeno's paradox

a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe, they're so perky, I love that.

Big things and small things. Why it is when you think about eating lemons, your body reminds you of the taste of lemons. Why can't NBC keep a good show on the air? #sixseasonsandamovie ;)

If I'm clever, I'm only slightly clever.

You would like to have a conversation... it is very difficult to bite through the interwebs
