Hi, I'm Max! I'm the co-founder and the former CTO of OkCupid. I wrote OKWS, the Web Server that powers the site.

Nowadays, the awesome OkEngineers are in charge of keeping this site thriving, and I'm working on some new dating products that will be coming online soon.

Blah blah

Fixing things that have broken; waking up early; taking short naps while driving, waking up in time to make that turn

My breasts.

(a) The Mezzanine, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, and Middlesex since it's mentioned above. Other assorted jams.

(b) Vertigo, Rushmore, The Man With the Movie Camera, a lot more, but those come to mind for some reason. Recently, I've enjoyed Melinda and Melinda, though can understand why a lot of people wouldn't; so while I'm at it, I like most Woody Allen, including of course Manhattan. Also, The Incredibles was a lot of fun, as was Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, which was strangely similar plot-wise.

(c) The Magnetic Fields, Pavement, The Flaming Lips, Sonny Rollins, Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley, Bob Dylan, Jim O'Rourke, though I still think that My Bloody Valentine's Loveless is one of the top albums, ever.

(d) Indian Food, the best food in the world.

Blah blahblah.

I could never do without my lovely wife Sarah!

I am somewhat addicted to the internet, and OkCupid. Aside from those and the obvious things, it's nice to have a bicycle, but in general, I am trying to avoid the accumulation of fleeting material possessions.
