Your Notes

I am snide, thoughtful, and oblivious.

My Self-Summary

I am a cynical pessimistic idealist computer geek (but I'm really not like all the others... :-). I was a helpless romantic in my youth, and you can still see shards of it embedded in the cynicism.

I can blather about many topics, and even know what I'm talking about when it comes to a couple. I'm also good at shutting up and listening.

I have a tendency to be sarcastic, my sense of humor can get very dark, but I can also get very silly when I'm in a good mood.

What I’m doing with my life

Staying out of the way of people who are actually going somewhere.

I am a professional computer geek. I am learning jiu-jitsu on the side. I am casually interested in photography. I read a lot. When my friends are organized enough, (which is rare) I play tabletop RPGS. When they're not, I play videogames. Sometimes I fiddle with my car.

I’m really good at

geeking with computers. Remembering random trivia. Taking things apart and putting them together. Making things work.

The first things people usually notice about me

They don't notice me. I'm good at being unobtrusive.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

(A) The Atrocity Archives (Stross), The Stone Canal (Ken Macleod), The Complete Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Conan Doyle), Use of Weapons (Iain Banks), Memory (Louis McMaster Bujold), A Deepness in the Sky (Vernor Vinge)
(B) Dr. Strangelove, City of Lost Children, The Replacement Killers, Richard III
(C) Ochre, Boards of Canada, Boston, J.S. Bach, Postal Service
(D) Liverwurst? Chinese dumplings/rolls? (really, I like everything except eggplant.)

The six things I could never do without

books, books, books, books, music, music

I spend a lot of time thinking about

All kinds of things. How to take over the world. How it would be nice if people left the world alone for a change. (Secretly, a bunch
of boring technical stuff too esoteric to describe here)

On a typical Friday night I am

Parked in front of my laptop, and happy about it. Reading. Eating large meals in restaurants.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Life has not yet successfully beaten all of the romanticism and idealism out of me. Yet. I think...

You should message me if

You want an interesting conversation about something that doesn't really have much to do with popular (non-geek) culture.
