"Real Geek" but not entirely socially inept. Ultimately, I'm fairly relaxed, rarely stress out, try to be kind to people. I'm extremely driven with dreams in the sky (literally?), can have strong opinions, and every so often enjoy playing the cynic. So some people think I'm an ass. Hi, how ya doin.

I grew up in Seattle and Arizona mostly. Moved to Montreal 4 years ago and... still here. In some ways, I'm really just discovering the real city. I'm a nomad at heart.

Food, generally, is wonderful. Not all of it, just the wonderful stuff. I've had the pleasure of a number of my friends teaching me to cook, and now it's become a semi-regular occurrence that we'll have a bunch-o-peeps over for dinner and good times at our various places of residence.

Idealistically, I like to jump off cliffs without knowing what's going to happen after. (Maybe gravity isn't real after all.) I don't make plans (except the evil kind) and I prefer to live -- well, a little discomfort is what makes an adventure!

By day, I'm a software engineer and user experience designer. It's fun stuff; even if it's so abstract as software, I get to build shit all day long. :)

And... I have some side projects running on before and after work. Conquering the world falls in there somewhere. ;) Currently working on -- aww, fuck it, just ask. Hint: it involves previously said "dreams in the sky."

It's been a little while, but piano and composing always finds a place.

Pffftt. Stuff.

"Oh my god, he's so tall, he's like... an alien or something, but more taller."

Yeah, or not. I was told just the other day, "oh you look all shiny and new." Not sure what that means.

Or add me on Spotify/Rdio. That's always fun.

Books:
Here's my admission: I don't read a lot in the traditional sense. When I was 14, I read a math book over the summer because I wanted to program a video game. Now, mostly essays and various blogs and computer science craps. Fahrenheit 451 is absolutely beautiful if for nothing other than Bradbury's language. I fucking hated the Hobbit. The movie was fun...er.

Computer
Time
Friends
Time for friends
More Time.
Sketchbook.

Impromptu parties, drinks somewhere, at home working/writing. Ideas?

I like trying to break text wrapping algorithms by putting a space before double-dotted punctuation.

If you're happy with who you are and how your life is going, driven, but always seeking new adventures, then probably we'll get along. :)

If you have a step-by-step life plan with post it notes and easy-turn line markers, we're really not going to get along. At all.

Now, if you've still got the notion to click that blue button right below there... do eet! :)
