will come back to this!!

I'm trying to focus on the journey with the goal of making the most of each moment. Doesn't matter where the road winds, or planning for that ride. Instead it's about being present. Surprisingly hard to do. So that's my life philosophy...er, I don't think I answered the question...Have been working in cleantech and right now taking a 'break' at Stanford.

Listening. I'd like to be better at telling tall stories. Work wise, I can convince most people I'm an engineer. I thought of being a investigative journalist when I was in jr high - it seemed very romantic. My classmates tell me I'm a good bullshiter, but in the most flattering way. I trained as an economist.

I've got dimples when I smile :)

Books - hmm, so many, where to begin... My back-up plan / old age plan is to have a bookstore but only stock it with books I like. Oh, and there will be a penny candy store attached too. Right now I'm reading Steinbeck's Travels with Charlie (the dog!)

Movies - Lawrence of Arabia, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Fried Green Tomatoes, Rear Window, Star Wars (the originals), Ronin, Amelie, The Royal Tanenbaums

Music - Recently, I've been listening to The XX (esp. some of the dubstep remixes), Lana Del Ray, Kasabian, Empire of the Sun, Damien Marley/NAS. I prefer small concert venues and the few life-reaffirming concerts I've seen include Neil Young, Wayne Shorter with Herbie Hancock, some all night (dusk to dawn) Indian classical music conferences and Radiohead outside in the drizzling rain with fireworks.

does time accelerate as you age? is there a relativistic theory for this, because I don't remember it being part of the deal. Also, a la steve jobs, have I lived the life I'm proud of?

hanging out with friends

I was really excited to watch the Planet Earth series. Except then I realized that, despite the beauty, I actually couldn't stomach the violence.
