My Self-Summary

In work, I'm an entrepreneur: before starting my own company this year, I worked for one I helped start. By trade, I'm a web application developer; I write the programming behind web sites like OKCupid.

In life, I like traveling, hiking, skiing, sailing, and good company. I don't make new friends easily, but those I do I know well and keep for a long time. I'm honest, respectful, and sensitive. I'm often quiet, contemplative, and reserved, but other times very expressive and like doing new things. I have a strong curiosity and love to learn new things and soak up knowledge.

What I’m doing with my life

I am working to improve my health. I am looking for someone to share my life with. I am here in Boston trying to make my new company succeed. More often than not, I've either just returned from a trip or planning my next one. Most recently: Newfoundland. Coming up: I cancelled my upcoming trip to Ireland. Poor weather, poor economy. :(

I’m really good at

I seem to be pretty determined to be good at anything I set my mind to doing; in this way, I am a perfectionist. On one hand that means I don't like doing things unprepared, but it also means I don't do things half-assed. But, I'm not this way about everything, just those things I care about.

I'm sorry, I avoided the question.

I can use anything electronic. I'm an excellent driver. I'm a decent cook, but know few recipes, and not much into experimenting. Recognizing when something is bothering someone. Listening. Trying to work things out. Not getting worked up about things.

And bad puns. Really good at those.

The first things people usually notice about me

Polite people might say my eyes, personality, or intelligence. Most people would notice my weight, which I am working to change. (Much better diet and joined the gym - this is serious business.) I've been putting myself second and that needs to change.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I'll admit to being a sci-fi nerd, but I've never been to a convention or anything like that, nor do I read the books or fan fiction. Recent favorite: Battlestar Galactica.

Some of my favorites all-time: The Matrix. Donnie Darko. Amélie. The Fifth Element. Contact. Good Will Hunting. A Beautiful Mind. Shawshank Redemption.

More recently: Batman Begins, The Departed, Juno, Crash, Munich.

TV: House, 24, The Daily Show & Colbert Report, South Park. Battlestar when it returns. Baseball, some football, and occasionally hockey.

I've read many of Michael Crichton's novels (RIP) and thing everyone should read 1984 at least twice. I've also read the whole Ender series (Orson Scott Card). His Dark Materials. Lord of the Rings.

Radiohead, Snow Patrol, Death Cab for Cutie, Decemberists, Coldplay, Guster, Wilco, Our Lady Peace, O.A.R., Belle and Sebastian, Jimmy Eat World.

The six things I could never do without

My cat, a hot shower, music, fresh coffee, my iPhone, and... you? (Yea, I can be pretty corny, but I also laugh at myself about it)

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Where I'll be or doing 6 months from now. Debating fate and free will. The meaning of life, or lack thereof. How archaic the dating roles and customs we have are. Financial markets. Politics. The future; the past. You know, the usual.

On a typical Friday night I am

Typically, just trying to take it easy. Been a rough week, for sure. Maybe going out to eat or just a quiet night at home. Catch up on some sleep? Maybe play a video game. Anyway, I'm not out drinking, if that's what you're after.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I still sleep with a stuffed animal (a lobster) that I've had since I was a kid. Mostly, though, this just gives me something for my arms to curl around, which helps me fall sleep. I could use a pillow, I suppose, but whatever.

You should message me if

You're looking for a serious relationship, but are willing to take things slow, or even take the lead. You're opinionated, intelligent, independent; probably a bit geeky.

Or just want to hang out. That's cool too.
