I am intelligent, thoughtful, and low drama.

My Self-Summary

I enjoy going out, and learning peoples' stories. I enjoy people who do things with their lives. For example, helping others with a Burningman project. There is just magic in doing. And over a common goal, there is a new dimension in people revealed.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm a computer geek. Ah what a surprise in Silicon Valley. :)
okay, maybe a little more than the standard computer nerd. I can build hardware, but mostly develop software. And in my spare time, I enjoy alot of Burners in the Bay Area. This usually entails a few campouts in the summer. And a few parties every month otherwise.

I’m really good at

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat . 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

But I have not yet found my true love.

The first things people usually notice about me

I don't speak much. But when I have something to say, it usually is pretty relevant.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Food: Caffe lattes, Tiramisu, a tender steak.
Music: pop dance music, BPM on XM radio
Movies: I generally like plots that can not be easily predicted - for example Fight Club.

The six things I could never do without

Blackberry, keys, backpack with some reading material, leatherman squirt, digital camera, internet connection

I spend a lot of time thinking about

how to make human intelligence, what makes us special, how to make a difference in this world.

On a typical Friday night I am

trying to find a good party, and a martini.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I think the matching algorithm is so far pretty good.

You should message me if

you think we could learn something from each other.
