I am clever, geeky, and laidback.

My Self-Summary

I'm pretty much vegetarian, apart from the occasional fish. (Meat is murder, fish is justifiable homicide.) I hate goatees; maybe that makes me superficial, but it's the only appearance thing I really hate beyond all reason, so I'm willing to admit it.

I'm goth-adjacent. I'm particularly interested in photography, electronic music, graphic design and video games, but I have a wide variety of secondary interests ranging from Buddhism to comic books. I live in South Austin with my wife (also bi) and two parakeets. I'm a software developer, primarily web applications. I work for IBM.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm collecting ideas for unwritten novels and interactive fiction, playing with bits of plunderphonic sound collage, scanning old family photos from the 60s and 70s, editing short home movies and making DVDs, photographing stuff that interests me, and writing on random topics on my web site.

I'm also playing way too many video games, currently LittleBigPlanet, Team Fortress 2, WipEout HD and echochrome.

I obsess over my bird companions, who are pretty spoiled, and I'm gradually taming our selection of backyard squirrels.

I’m really good at

I can do pretty much anything involving computers, from building a PC out of parts to developing a database-backed web site. Unusually for a Unix guy, I can also speak plain English. Plus, I don't have a pony tail, and I'm trying not to become fat.

The first things people usually notice about me

I'm rarely clean-shaven. I'm English.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

The six things I could never do without

Coffee, courier bag, credit card, computer, black clothing, BlackBerry (sorry, but in my defense I don't use it for work).

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Mortality, my unfinished projects, cosmology, squirrels, birds.

On a typical Friday night I am

Looking forward to a lazy Saturday morning, reading in bed while sipping a latte.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm a lucid dreamer, but any attempt to make the dreams sexy seems to result in my waking up.

You should message me if

Your life doesn't revolve around getting drunk. You're a cute Asian guy. You want to switch from Windows to something else. You can spell and punctuate. You play PS3 games and like online cooperative multiplayer. You're a curvy female massage therapist I can set my wife up on a date with.
