Above all else, I like interesting things and people who like interesting things.

But that's super vague. More specifically, I have a bunch of hobbies, all of which somehow revolve around computers, music, and/or art. On the artsier side, I play a handful of instruments, record music, work on art projects, and sometimes dabble in graphic design. On the more technical side of things, I write computer programs and occasionally consult on other people's work. I also enjoy walking and talking (at the same time or otherwise) and hanging out around Ann Arbor aimlessly.

I graduated from the University of Michigan (computer science major, art history minor) and now work as a software developer at a local tech company, which eats up a lot of my time. Luckily, it's a sweet gig.

In addition, I spend time trying to cook things, occasionally going to shows, wandering around Ann Arbor, and sleeping.

Losing—or very rarely, gaining—socks in the dryer.

That I'm pretty observant, that I'm at least somewhat tired most of the time, and that my phone is absolutely ancient.

Food
Honestly, most food is good.

My friends, my family, a computer, a guitar, pens, and sleep.

The grand scheme of things, more or less.

And why there are so many awesome people here that are 5-10 years older than I am.

Working on a project, hanging out with friends, wasting time on the Internet, and sleeping, all at the same time.

-I'm not super-fascinated with vinyl.
-I have Ash Ketchum's hat.
-I helped produce a fan-made video that follows Flo from the Progressive commercials as she battles an army of the undead.

...Okay, so that last one isn't true, but I think it would be really cool if it was.

-You see something interesting.
-I can learn something awesome from you.
-You are up for wandering around, eating food, watching movies, and/or conversing about interesting stuff.
