Your Notes
Edit your notesI am really, really superlative, and yet humble.
My Self-Summary
I tried a whole bunch of things. Now I'm back doing what I was
doing the first time around, except I'm absolutely sure it's the
right thing this time. Explaining that seems to be really
complicated when I do it, so it's cool if the following seems like
nonsense to you. I mean, my brother can explain my life, but since
he's not here:
My life now involves an intersection of:
1) Motor control and learning research at UC Berkeley
2) Teaching movement classes, mostly to older women at the YMCA.
By movement classes, I mean some slow-ass rolling around on the floor kind of movement classes, none of that acro-yoga stuff. One time I tried teaching my class to break dance, and that was a TRAGEDY.
I am a sort of hybrid of redneck (e.g., I own an off-road capable vehicle), academic and as rigorous a combination of materialism and new-age thinking as I can manage.

What I’m doing with my life
Science (grad
school) & Somatic Education (Feldenkrais teacher). I
plan to stay an academic if I can, hopefully running a lab. But
first, I may take a luxury post-doc in the Mediterranean.
In my spare time, I often practice things: juggling, meditation, Feldenkrais, ukulele, singing, songwriting, mixing drinks, cooking, dance moves, windsurfing, etc.

I’m really good at
almost nothing. But I am reasonably good at lots of things. For
example, this week, I:
- removed the electronic "safety" mechanism from my paper shredder
- helped a student feel a strong connection from her feet up through her spine
- started implementing an interactive viewer for diagnosing MRI data quality issues.
For each of those kinds of things, there are definitely people who are way better at it than me. But I get by.
I also lost at wrestling with a girl this week. She was huge! But certainly I am not a really good wrestler.

The first things people usually notice about me
is that I just fell down. Seemingly on purpose. Sometimes on them.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Slapstick, uni, Zappa, Fischerspooner, Kid Koala, Tuvan throat
singing, salty chocolate, chipotle peppers, the theme to Super
Mario Brothers, Adaptation, Outkast, Gorillaz, Ah Ha, Neutral Milk
Hotel, Tom Waits, Beethoven, Alice in Wonderland, Winnie the Pooh,
mung bean milkshakes, The Kinks, Johnny Cash, Bobby McFerrin,

Improvisation (actually a dance form, but whatev), Italo
Calvino, anything with the word "experimental" in it, Cory Doctorow
(who seems to write science fiction books about what my friends
do), Neal Stephenson (though I wish he had a better editor).
Also - I just discovered Ishkur's guide to Electronic Music. Google it if you don't know already (and you like some kind of electronic music, of course).

The six things I could never do without
Space, time, love, lapsang souchong, solar energy, breath.
That is to say, there is very little I couldn't do without that aren't actual requirements for living and interacting with the world. Sometimes I seriously consider going and living in a cave. And I'd still _remember_ about lapsang souchong...

I spend a lot of time thinking about
the neural control of human behavior. But we don't have to talk
about that.
Also - is what I'm doing with my life _really_ going to help people?

On a typical Friday night I am
working or dancing
my ass off.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I sang the parts of Chewbacca and Jabba the Hut at MIT for our
recitation of the Star Wars Space Opera by David Bass. For
reals:

You should message me if
you think that would be fun and also healthy. Or at least one of
the two.
Oh! And you are more interested in doing stuff than sitting in front of the computer typing diffusely at some imagined potential. Real life dating seems way easier than online...
