Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I work a lot, when I have free time I ...
... am the guy at the bar watching the game who pulls out a book during halftime/intermission - though I look up for Coach's Corner;
... when there is no game to watch, I am often on the patio of a bar or coffeeshop devoting full attention to my book;
... can also be found at random places in Calgary taking photos of buildings and scenery;
... hang out with my friends, the vast majority of whom live in another city so this is not as frequent as I would like.
... have been described as a technoholic by some of my closest friends; I ponder philosophy 24/7, I am great at multitasking so this is no big interruption to my work or life.

I do get to the gym on occasion and I enjoy climbing, racketball and (am trying to learn) squash.

Movies: Amistad, Harold & Kumar Go to Whitecastle, Iron Man, lots more I am sure, but these cover the basic moods.
