What I can say is that I have undergone quite the transformation over the last couple of years. Granted, I am still a very nerdy builder/maker/entrepreneur, but I have grown more experienced, confident, and I certainly have expanded my interests.

Between obsessing over very hoppy IPAs I seem to be drawn to various (read: way to many) projects that generally involve disruptive technology. Some are as simple in concept as making a car go fast for no really good reason or making levels for video games, others are more esoteric concepts like converting a farm to full solar power or developing a helmet that would create a holodeck in the modern world. My philosophies about this generally follow this vision: If I have to pick between fast, cheap, and right, I generally pick fast and right. My initial builds of these various projects are not pretty, but they work and do amazing things. Quick example: Steve Jobs would claw his eyeballs out if he would have seen my computer. It has hoses pumping coolant everywhere, but how many desktop computers have 8 processors and 2 video cards cooled by water? I believe in efficacy over aesthetics and rapid iteration over excessive planning. Simply put: get a cool idea, build it quickly, test it and fix it until it works, polish it to perfection. Pretty much everything I do follows these ideals.

Aside from that, I am learning to cook, I love good beer, I love exploring San Francisco, I love shooting and getting shot by plastic airsoft bbs (on a regulated field), I love to experiment in the bedroom, and I love any machine that can make me go fast. One of my life goals is to go into space before I die.

Also, if this makes you laugh, we will very much get along:

"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

I wonder if Robert Frost was thinking about anal sex when he wrote this?

I am currently working as a developer for a games startup. I have generally made levels for big studios like EA or SEGA, so the small team is really feeling empowering.

Outside of work I take up too many projects for my own good. Some of them are listed above in the previous section and I am passionate about all of them. I love sharing my passions and I love getting involved in other people's passions as well.

Making games, fixing computers, repairing and breaking fast cars, creating new inventions, ranting about philosophy and politics, and of course eating well and drinking good beer.

I am very transparent (what you see is what you get) and comfortable in my element. Get me talking about my interests as well as yours, and you'll have quite a conversation on your hands. People who get to know me find me easy to trust. Part of this is because I'm upfront and honest about everything. I can't seem to lie to save my life....well I can, I just do a crappy job... :)

Books: Snowcrash, Starship Troopers, Foundation Movies: Equilibrium, the first Matrix movie, Aliens Music: Shostakovich, Bach, NIN, Rammstein Foods: American (burgers, breakfasts, etc...), Japanese (I love Unagi), Steak, and good beer.

1. Internet, this helps me meet people and simultaneously allows me to learn more about making games...or anything for that matter.
2. San Francisco], I love this city. We have some of the best and brightest people here and we have amazing things to see.
3. My friends, I hang out with a bunch of geeks (if you have not noticed, I include myself in that description) that I am really fond of. We are always there to help each other out and talk shop.
4. Cars, Ok well good cars that handle very well that are usually from Japan or Europe. They must also be tuned and modified (see: made ridiculously fast) by a professional. You might accurately guess I am a huge Top Gear fan.
5. Books, Yet another information source that allows me to make things and improve myself as well as give me fiction to enjoy.
6. Being completely open about myself, I know this isn't necessarily a thing, but I have decided that rejection is actually a good thing since it lets me find out who is really interested in me.

Games and game development, improving myself (mostly psychologically), helping my friends, building things, helping society not destroy itself in order to get ahead (i.e. amateur political science).

Drinking a good beer with friends or when I am attached, visiting somebody special.

Here is the big reveal as we game designers would say, and this will be a big "but" for many of you: I am very sex positive and a kinky and dirty bastard in the bedroom. I always like trying new things and I am open to damn near anything at least once. I believe in open communication about sexuality and I do think sexual compatibility is very important to a healthy relationship. I will never think of you as a "slut" if you want to try something new and I strongly prefer experience over the silly notion of "purity." I also utterly detest any form of Jealousy.

The other big one? I am child free and I wish to remain so. I have had an operation to ensure this is the case.

I will be very happy to talk about details about either bombshell if you care to ask. :)

You like a geek or nerd who has no shame of his geekiness and nerdiness. :)
