I'm an affable, intellectual, unassuming guy looking to meet all kinds of interesting people for friendship and maybe more if things go well.

I'm geeky and kind of a technophile, but I have other interests too. I love ancient history and classic literature, poetry, philosophy, classical music, classic rock, and independent film. I also like math, board games, spirited debate, and anything else that stimulates the mind.

I have as much of a passion for the body is the mind; in particular I like to lift weights and run outdoors. I care about being fit, and I want other people to be fit too.

I'm fairly liberal in my outlook on life, but I appreciate the complexity of the human condition, so my opinions tend to be moderate and nuanced.

I enjoy the company of other people, but I also enjoy spending time by myself, just to reflect on things. There's a certain tension in that oscillation that accounts for much of the richness of experience.

One of the reasons I like a lot of independent films more than those Hollywood-manufactured.. whatever you want to call them―is that in these films I find ample opportunity to observe people in what seem to be moments of genuine indecision, where their pretensions are stripped away and they are laid bare. I would like to have more of those moments in my own life.

If you think we might get along, by all means drop me a line. If nothing else, I'm sure we'll at least have some interesting conversation. :)

whistling. Seriously, really freaking good. Also witty banter, abstract thinking, and being incredibly unclear about what I want.

My charming disposition, and my tendency to make pun of grave matters.

great stories (mine, yours, ones that somebody else made up), trail running, good hygiene, fresh coffee, the internets, rudimentary logic, commas.

the human condition. No, really I do.

seeing a movie or some live music with friends, at a dive bar, or enjoying some quiet time at home.
