I am compassionate and kind, I love animals (especially dogs), I am a good listener, and can't kill anything bigger than a fly.

I have my own business designing custom databases for small businesses.
I like to work with musicians and other creative people.
I am an avid enthusiast of the Asian game of Go, I run the Evanston Go Club and am the membership services coordinator of the American Go Association.

I'm good at things that require attention to detail.
I love to build and organize things and information.

I am easy to talk to. I'm kind of quiet. I'll look you straight in the eye and believe everything you tell me.

Some of my favorite books are The End Of Faith by Sam Harris,
Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, High Fidelity
by Nick Hornby.

I loved Avatar, Lord Of The Rings, High Fidelity (again), Annie
Hall, Manhattan, House Of Games, Blade Runner.

I love certain kinds of music. I am not terribly open-minded. I
love Bach and Beethoven. Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, and Jimmy
Costa. Pat Metheny, Keith Jarret, Fred Simon. Count Basie, Wes
Montgomery, Jimmy Smith.

Ah food... Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Mexican, not
necessarily in that order and not all at once. ;)

The love of my family.
Knowing I did the right thing.
Passion.
And three more I can't think of right now...

I think about how immense and unfathomable the universe is. Why there is something rather than nothing. What happens when we die. How amazing nature is. The wonder of a dog's loyalty. The absurdity of religion. How to improve my interface design work.

There's really not much difference between Friday and any other night for me. Dinner with my one of my sisters, a movie with my neighbor, a glass of wine with my friend Paul, watching a bit of TV, playing Go online, reading a book, doing a crossword puzzle, playing volleyball.

I'll admit almost anything, just ask me. :)

You believe in chemistry and love at first sight.
You are willing to be vulnerable and strong enough to let me be vulnerable too.
You can't stand hip-hop.
You don't wear a lot of make-up.
