I'm a young, educated guy working in tech (as though there weren't enough of us around here). I'm originally from Michigan but can't say I miss the winter at all.

The rest you'll just have to figure out. I can say I'm much better in person than I am in text form.

I recently moved to the Bay Area for a job I'm in love with. I'm slowly getting acclimated to the area, just recently camped in Yosemite and have been exploring more and more of the City.

Cooking and making an excellent cup of coffee. I'm pretty good at trying to bring the best out of people. Whether it's co-workers, friends, or people I train capoeira with I always try to help people better themselves (if they want to).

That I'm a little shy and pretty stubborn about it. Usually though people notice that it just takes me a little time to warm up.

Books: Hitchhikers, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Dune.

Movies: Almost anything,

Shows: Colbert Report, Daily Show, KQED and NPR.

Music: My taste in music has always been described as eclectic (music being one of the few cases one hears that particular adjective used). I enjoy a bit of everything and will easily fall in love with a single song from some prolific artist and then not like anything else they make.

Food: Absolutely anything! But lately I've especially been enjoying Korean, Chinese, and Indian.

Internet / Laptop
A phone with GPS (love to explore but need navigation to do so)
A well equipped kitchen
Someone to listen to my crazy ideas (usually about something I want to build)
Kindle
A warm comfy bed

Usually something technical or something I just saw a TED talk about.

Either going out to dinner with friends, going out training capoeira, and occasionally just staying in and relaxing.

I sing in the car to Frank Sinatra.

Also I have no idea how to write a first message.

You want to. I obviously won't be interested in everyone but I'm rude to no one.
