I'm an obsessively curious polymath and an unrecovered writer who trades his time for money doing software development in an esoteric area of computer science. I do not define myself by my job, but rather view my work as a means to an end... even though I find my work interesting and engaging.

I travel a lot, and most recently have returned to Toronto after three years living in Paris.I'm trying not to let that get me down. :) I'm a monochromat, which means that I'm profoundly colour blind. Living in Paris was partly
an exercise in obsessively haunting museums and galleries and
Trying To Understand. I failed, but was pretty engaged by the attempt.

I love motorcycles and sailboats, and I try to get out of the city to my family cottage whenever possible; especially in the winter time -- the fireplace is hard to ignore. I value humour as well as intense and varied conversation. I'm not religious, and I don't want to be. I'd rather swim to shore than take the dinghy. I love machinery, and covet books. I'm endlessly fascinated by women, and try to maintain my female friendships. I'd rather be passionate than romantic, but I don't see these things as being mutually exclusive. I've only ever had one monogamous relationship, but I didn't cheat while the promise was in place. I don't like it when people want me to think for them; i value people who are self directed and who pursue their dreams. I don't want to be responsible for your happiness, but if you're the right person, i'd happily contribute. I am intense, nomadic, and autodidactic

I own a business with my brother that consumes all of my professional time. I make time for fun as much as possible, which is sometimes not enough. I've written two novels and hundreds of short stories, but i have an obsessive character, and I tend not to write when I have a lot of other work to do.

I'm the leading evangelist for the Beneficient Celestial Electron, which primarily involves acceptance of the notion that all energy flows according to the whims of the Great Magnet. I'm a fairly talented motorcycle rider. I'm an aspiring amateur naval architect. I'm a first rate endurance reader. I can speak clearly on myriad subjects, and I enjoy making people laugh, so i'm almost always cracking (un)wise.

I'm bald, and I have a high strength to weight ratio.

I spend a lot of time thinking about high aspect ratio sailboat rigs, and wankel rotary engines. I write books in my head years before I transcribe them to paper. I'm almost always perplexed and fascinated by the women in my life.

Laughing with friends in a bar, or sleeping early, or reading a book, or making dinner for a date.

I lost the greatest love I've ever experienced, I'm totally over it.

you're curious, pretty, friendly, happy, or interesting. ;) Seriously, i'm interested in almost everybody from some perspective.
