I am clever, thoughtful, and creative.

My Self-Summary

I'm excited about being here because I like the idea of machines facilitating human-human interaction. Why are you looking at this? Because either a computer told you I'd be interesting, or encouraged me to contact you. Good work, okrobots.

I have a dry sense of humor and enjoy silly conversations and speculation on why the world is the way it is. Apparently it's obvious I'm an engineer by the way I shop, I'm told it's because of my attention to detail (and hope it's not a lack of style). I enjoy what I do very much, to the point where I work on personal software projects for fun. How many people say that? I consider myself very lucky.

I think it'd be a lot of fun to meet someone new, someone who I can try new things with. For example: I've never kayaked, I rarely get to see live music, and I really need to practice my cooking. I figure there are a lot of people out there who are at a similar point in their life, and I'd like to find them, get to know them, and see how well we get along.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm a software developer for a high traffic travel media website, focusing on speed and browser performance. Work isn't exclusively that, I've done quite a bit of feature implementation and some software design.

For fun I like to play billiards, board/card/video games, tennis, software projects, reading in coffee shops, running, relaxing at the beach. Less so on the last item, given the time of year.

I’m really good at

I do a pretty good impression of a man squeezing a frog. It sounds a lot like this except with a deeper pitch and less creepy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSzhjqwB8C4

Some of my lesser talents include: Googling, Foosball, troubleshooting, and parallel parking.

The first things people usually notice about me

When appropriate, my excellent taste in hats.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I like to mix pleasure with practical by reading about software. Call me what you like, but I really find it interesting. Is it all that different from a historian reading books on history? Yeah, there are differences... but it's a pretty good argument if you don't think about it too much ;)

Most of the movies I like fall under these three genres: sci-fi, fantasy, and action. Favorites in most recent memory are: Sin City, Equilibrium, X-Men series, Spiderman series, the first Matrix, Serenity, the new Batman movies, and Iron Man. Hmm, I guess it shows I liked comic books as a child.

Lately I've been listening to some Infected Mushroom, Daft Punk, Offspring, Deftones, Ronald Jenkees, and Coldplay. Generally speaking I like rock and techno (good background music).

I'll eat almost anything beyond sea food, with a preference towards sandwich-like items. I have a general adversity towards breakfast.

The six things I could never do without

Commuting for less than three hours a day
Quality roommates
Internet video
Appropriately captioned animals
Pandora
Temperpedic mattress

I spend a lot of time thinking about

How great it'd be to be telekinetic and/or able to teleport, but more importantly what I'd chose to be my super power.

On a typical Friday night I am

I usually have friends over, we typically play board games or watch a movie.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I think I've developed a psychologically induced nausea while flying, triggered by my fear of being sick on a plane. My rational side is pretty annoyed at this.

You should message me if

You're smart, loving, independent, funny, and interested in meeting new people. Talk is cheap, send the message. A few minutes of your time might flourish into a livelong friendship.
