My self-summary
I love coffee - especially espresso (alliteration?) - with hazelnut - yes, hazelnut lattes are the best! I feel so yuppie when I order my daily coffee drink - one nonfat hazelnut latte please...yes, I know - its sad, but I like it a certain way. I can go on and on about my grand plans for experimenting with espresso machines and getting it just right (Vivace anyone?)...but lets get back to the point ;).

If there's one thing about me that defines me, it would be passion. There are very few things that I will be doing at any given point of time, but its highly likely that I will be obsessing over perfecting them - from developing technology for Kinect at Xbox, to working out at the gym, to learning how a new skill (guitar), I tend to get very passionate about everything that I do.

I am also a very good listener - people generally like to confide in me - I might not be able to advise you on what to do, but if you need someone you can just talk to, that would be me.

Some things that I really like to do during my free time:
a. Reading books - fantasy fiction and science fiction are my favorite genres.
b. Watching movies on Netflix - there was a point in time last year where I would be working on the Netflix application for Xbox (I implemented the 2010 client BTW...ping me if you like it ;D) and would come home and watch TV shows/movies on the same client.
c. Hiking during the summer - I've done many mid-level to hard hikes in the Cascades - Granite Mountain, Mailbox, Mt. Si and more. Have also done the Mt. Rainier base camp hike many times...I do intend to summit it some time!
d. Skiing during the winter: I usually start off on the harder blues and graduate to the blacks over the first week of the season...love skiing!
What I’m doing with my life
Living life to the fullest - this includes:
a. Working at Xbox - absolutely love my job :).
b. Doing my Masters in Computer Science at the same time from the UW (yes, it gets intense sometimes!)
c. Learning how to play the guitar
d. Teaching my younger brother how to drive
e. Meeting new people...

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Books:

Lord of the Rings
Atlas Shrugged (it keeps going lower and lower on my list of good books every time I read it...it seems too 'black and white' somehow)

Music - At work, I listen to progressive house music most of the day (and sometimes nights) while I code and design
Otherwise, I am a fan of alternative rock music
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Free time - My work and my masters course keep me so busy that I love thinking about the time when I will have lots of free time

I am also an admitted futurist (yes the Ray Kurzweil type ... not the type who thinks about the future all the time ;D) and technology lover. I keep thinking of new ways that Natural User Interfaces, Voice technologies (yes, I love developing for Kinect!) and artificially intelligent entities will change our lives in the future...
