Your Notes

I am idiosyncratic, low-maintenance, and unblowuppable.

My Self-Summary

My childhood heros were Bill Gates, Carl Sagan and Jimmy Carter. This has not produced the kind of adult who mixes easily with sports fans or gun enthusiasts, but I haven't lost hope that I might someday meet a woman who values the mind of an armchair intellectual.

My life's ambition is to buy a bigger house in Madison, have people over for dinner once a month, throw parties twice a year, and spend weekends hiking Devil's Lake, riding bikes in farm country, or contemplating life in my study.

I don't usually watch TV or movies at home, but I'm willing to go along with it if that's your thing. I don't have kids, and at this point in life it's probably best if it stayed that way.

What I’m doing with my life

Write computer code; debate best way to write computer code; argue over whether Mac is better than PC; write more computer code.

In my spare time, I provide food and shelter to a small and otherwise helpless animal.

One day I would like to figure out how to use my computer skills to advance science or medicine or world peace instead of helping venture capitalists get rich off of the next Web fad. In the meantime, it's a pretty good living.

I’m really good at

Puns. I once submitted a list of my best ones to a contest. I thought one would win, but no pun in ten did.

I'm also somewhat good at cameras and Photoshop.

I'm bad at piano, but I pound on the thing anyway hoping some good will eventually come of it.

The first things people usually notice about me

Like the great artist Frida Kahlo, I have one long eyebrow that extends across my face rather than a distinct brow over each eye. Many consider this a sure sign of intelligence and creativity. In my case it's probably just a coincidence.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

My favorite book is "Moon People" by Dale M. Courtney. Fortunately I realized the title was meant to be a noun and not a verb before I got into too much trouble over it.

My favorite bands are ABBA, Meat Loaf, Bob Dylan, the Kids from the Brady Bunch, Boney M., Fever Tree, Bill Fox, The Go-Go's, The Osmonds, and Mrs. Miller.

I'm a vegetarian, so my favorite food is plants. I don't like movies but I enjoy reading Roger Ebert, so I have heard of a lot of movies that I've never seen.

The six things I could never do without

A bicycle, a camera, furious political dialog, C major, Java (both kinds), and my cat Simon.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

The long series of unlikely events which caused a group of hydrogen atoms floating through space to end up being me.

On a typical Friday night I am

Shopping for hummus at Woodmans, talking to my cat, posting irreverent comments on my friends' facebook pages, looking for love on the internet.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I once had an AOL account.
