I am cambrian man, freedom fighter, and poet.

My Self-Summary

My screen name refers not to Cambria, but the Cambrian Period. I found the idea of an anomalocarid in a business suit incredibly amusing.

I like excellent typography, elegant programming languages, music that makes me look up words and design challenges.

I am looking to meet a lady that has a sense of humor and is otherwise fun to be around. I'm actually up for a lot of things. I may not be outdoorsy by nature but I am willing to try a lot of different things. But hey, going to restaurants and movies and such is all good, too. Frankly, I don't much care what we do as long as you're interesting and we get along. The rest falls into place, right?

What I’m doing with my life

I teach kids how to use computers. Honest. I'm pretty good at it, I think. Before that, I had been doing customer service work for various MMOs. Kindergarteners are easier to deal with than the average WoW player.

In my spare time I work on half-baked indie games that rarely get far but are fun to work on. I can talk about non-video game stuff, of course, but I thought I'd get it out of the way right up front. Now, if you want to discuss ludology vs. narrotology, the dynamics of community management in a persistent world, or why interactive fiction remains important, I might have to ask you to marry me.

I’m really good at

I find if I try to learn something, I usually can, as long as it doesn't require a lot of coordination. So, I guess... that. I just get easily distracted. I've given up on forcing myself, it's better just to hop from subject to subject and trust that I'll pick it up along the way.

The first things people usually notice about me

I don't know, they've all been too polite to say. The spare head, maybe?

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: Book of the New Sun, His Dark Materials, Dune, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Music: Andrew Bird, The Shins, The Decemberists, DeVotchKa, The Kleptones, BT, Mum, Tori Amos (shut up), Neutral Milk Hotel, The Dresden Dolls, The New Pornographers, Regina Spektor, CSS... I have a soft spot for bluegrass covers of rock songs.

Movies: Millenium Actress, Ma Vie en Rose, This is Spinal Tap, Doctor Strangelove

Food: Kapusta, sushi in general, but tuna and salmon in particular, pepperoni pizza because... why not, everyone needs comfort food sometimes.

The six things I could never do without

I've grown attached to my cell phone (a BlackBerry at the moment, I'm so lame)
The internet, humanity's greatest time waster... and I mean great.
Lip balm... chapped lips drive me nuts.
My glasses. I'd be blind without them.
Zune Pass... ok, I'm sure I could make due with some other way to get whatever I feel like listening to, but let's just say... some way to get whatever music I feel like listening to.
My bionic brain.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Whatever's on my mind at the moment, I think. It varies.

On a typical Friday night I am

Used to be playing board games, but that hasn't gone on much recently. That's why I'm here. Duh.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

My PIN. I've cleverly encoded it in my profile. If you can figure it out, the fortune is YOUR'S.

You should message me if

You think I'm neat. I'll cop to it -- if you think I'm cool, then you're probably someone I'd like, too.
