I'm mostly on this site to see if anything happens with it. I'm...a brainiac but try not to be a jerk about it. I try to aim more for Wolowitz rather than Sheldon, for Hispanic and Nerdy doesn't quite exist as a media stereotype yet.

I'm a second-generation Colombian but was born stateside. Last I checked, I'm not a drug lord.

I'm currently working full-time as a software developer and...that's mostly it at the moment. I am amusing myself by attending assorted meetup functions, participating in dramatic readings of *really* bad literature, and otherwise noting that I'm rather alone outside of the workplace.

-Coding things of varied usefulness from business applications to phone apps to embedded devices.
-Being a walking textbook. This has been reined in though.
-Improvised solutions and gadgets.

-Fortunately, the fact I am fairly selfless when it comes to helping out when asked.
-Unfortunately, the fact I have celiac. Being the guy who always defaults to salads, or skips out when someone brings sweets to the office does make it effectively impossible not to stand out.

Books/Literature: The Count of Monte Cristo, De Re Militari, Dune, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Illuminatus! Trilogy, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, Name of the Rose, The Saracen (both books of course), Starship Troopers, Stranger in a Strange Land

Movies: Apocalypse Now, Aliens, Dr. Strangelove, Mongol, Tropa de Elite 2, Waltz with Bashir

Music: Most the classics/classic rock; besides that, Sabaton, Tom Lehrer and the Red Army Choir stand out. Frank Zappa, They Might Be Giants, and a fair few filk bands too.

Food: Sadly I am gluten and caesin-free. This rules out a *lot* of food, and means when I eat Italian, I order Salad.
I learned to cook early as a result, and on one hand I can fix a mean guacamole or red pepper hummus, and on the other hand I am decent at assorted rice&chicken curry dishes. Currently I'm branching out to gluten-free variants of Mediterranean food, be it dolmata, sfiha, or falafel.

Internet DIY sites: Hackaday, Instructables, and Make are all handy sites for an enterprising handyman. When I need a particular "how-to" guide ("how to build a laser cutter"), I can usually find something.
-Tools of the trade: A good code compiler, IDE, dremel kit, heat gun, hacksaw...so many tools, so little time.
-Duct Tape: This deserved a category of its own. Duct Tape is like The Force: It has a light side and a dark side, and it binds the galaxy together.
-Limes: Be it softening up avocado for a convincing guacamole, flavoring up chicken or finishing off a rum-and-cola.
-Women/companionship: Not even with regards to sex, but emotional and mental affection and support can do so much...
-Vodka: Personally I enjoy Vikingfjord though Three Olives is fine too. I enjoy me a good screwdriver.

everything. I'm a bit of a nerd. Current topics include:
-How capital finance will doom us all.
-The nature of manuever versus attritional warfare.
-How to build an EMP generator.
-Intellectual derpery.

They should have called this "weekend night."

Sometimes I'm listening to dramatic readings of *really* bad literature, attending gaming conventions, studying, going to concerts/clubs, or dismantling old electronics for spare parts.

Barring breach of NDA, or anything that could assist in identity theft...I really don't have anything to hide. Ask away if you're feeling lucky.

Personally, I always thought that this should be part of "I'm Looking for." Regardless, here goes:

The main reason I started using OKCupid again was to balance a work life against becoming a workaholic; I'm not looking to be changed so much as I am the kind who usually finds strength from an emotional vote of confidence. If you feel we can connect or help each other out, or even if you want to explore the city together then by all means.
