I am sciential, hackish, and empathic.

My Self-Summary

An open-minded and curious person interested in the inner workings of the whole world from the tiniest subatomic scales up to the complexity of the human society and the vastness of the Universe. (wow, that sounded like, er... , anyway, yeah, I guess that's me :D )

Oh, and I'm the kind of person who thinks xkcd.com webcomic is funny. And who likes Monty Python. And... and... who is not particularly good at describing himself at the moment :)

So... where were we... Aha. Open-minded and curious. And technically inclined. But interdisciplinary ("Complexity science, anyone?" "What-what??" "Oh, never mind."). Meaning that while I can program a little bit, I also have, say, ArtRage 2.2 Free installed in my computer at the moment, and Wacom Graphire4 A6 in my desk drawer... And, of course, music stuff like... well, I'd rather not speak about it yet ;)

Hm, I just checked Eric Raymonds site about hackers [http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html] (not to be confused with crackers) and I think these points about hacker attitude pretty much apply to me as well:

1. The world is full of fascinating problems waiting to be solved. 2. No problem should ever have to be solved twice. 3. Boredom and drudgery are evil. 4. Freedom is good. 5. Attitude is no substitute for competence.

(but I definitely do not claim to be a hacker or something)

I do like nature (especially Nordic (incl. Estonian)), mountains, water, ... I like people who do not lie, who are friendly, intelligent, think positively (well, within reason, not the "Oh ####, the Moon just fell on New York, but let's keep smiling anyway" kind), have self-confidence, ...

What I’m doing with my life

Exploring the uncharted, while trying to balance on the everchanging edge between originality and insanity.

I’m really good at

Thinking? But definitely not at small talk.

The first things people usually notice about me

You tell me :)

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I read quite a lot, but mostly non-fiction, because... real life is SO interesting anyway, why bother reading fiction :) I have enjoyed some fiction books as well, of course, especially fantasy and sci-fi style. Maybe I should pick up a few of them again and take a few days and just enjoy...

Movies? Occasionally, but not often. Some markers of possibly interesting movies for me: related to Asia (incl. Japan) (e.g. The Hero, movies by Takeshi, cartoons by Hayao Miyazaki), some tech / sci-fi stuff (e.g. Star Wars, Pi), maybe a bit freaky (but not horror) (Pi, Fight Club), very positively emotional (Amelié), ...

Music... Better check my homepage for a short list for examples. (aha, you probably don't know the address of my homepage :D Feel free to ask from me.)

Food. Good food. Slow food. Simple, homey, but high quality, food. Healthy food (within reason, no "carrots only" lunches, please).

The six things I could never do without

Freedom (not to be confused with irresponsibility).

I spend a lot of time thinking about

what makes things in the world to work the way they do. And how to make things that don't exist yet.

And how to find people who think like me, and how to become friends with them :D

On a typical Friday night I am

Friday night? Like today? Let me see... currently I'm enjoying the... What? Today is Thursday? Tuesday? Where do you get those labels for days anyway? Oh, okay. Whatever. Next question :)

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Private?? I dunno... Well, I sometimes smile and say "Hi" to dogs on streets... I say "Sorry" to trees if I accidentally stumble upon them... Is that private enough? :D
