Background: I'm originally from Minnesota and moved to Denver in the summer of 2006. I've lived and been a few other places mostly due to a stint in the military but have found Colorado is one of my favorite places to live.

This may be a strange contradiction. I work in IT and enjoy new technology but also find myself needing to be in the wood as much as possible.

This is a work in progress but while I'm doing while not working:

Backpacking
Snowboarding
Building puzzles
Reading
Cooking

Trying to get to Antarctica for a winter. They are supposed to have the best aurora when everything is totally dark.

Saving for and trying to purchase a foreclosure or "fixer upper". Hoping for better snow this winter.

Books: Anything by Robert Heinlein with Stranger in a Strange Land being at or near the top of the list. The Dune series.
Currently reading: Cory Doctorow
Nook + public library = genius

Music: Techno and dance music. Don't care for Rap or Country.

Food: It's complicated.

Ignorance is bliss
Social taboos, protocols and social structure
Sarcasm and how to get more of it into conversations
