I am stubborn, considerate, and rebellious.

My Self-Summary

I tend to catch a lot of fire for not conforming to what established power expects:

So I guess I'm an evil enemy of the people. Or rather, I don't agree to do things I don't believe are right just because it's demanded or because other people do it.

So that makes a tireless public activist, trying to stand up for what's right (and sit down for what's not). You'll always find me investing time in some important project, like my teacher union or getting new light fixtures installed for my condominium's staircase, or writing some guide or position paper.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm working on my Ph.D. in Theoretical Computer Science at the Technion.

I've also helped form a Teacher's union at the Technion, and I've put together a mini-course on Junior Academic Staff organization:

during 2008 I participated in various aspects of the all-university struggle for the improvement of Junior Academic Staff and 'external' teacher employment conditions.

I'm also sort-of-the-head of the residents' committee in my apartment building in the Hadar neighborhood.

(I had a long trip across Europe in 2006:

I’m really good at

Oooh, lots of stuff:

- talking things out
- thinking things out
- getting people's computers to work
- tinkering with things around my apartment
- writing really nasty sarcastic criticism of stuff that nobody bothers to read
- trying to grasp the deeper implications of things... and sometimes even succeeding.

The first things people usually notice about me

My being a good listener and discussion partner. That, and my tendency to politically-dramatize social situations in my close environment (think: the epic saga of intra-faculty power struggles).

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

From Science Fiction and Fantasy literature (Le-Guin, Lord Dunsany, Zelazny) to radical history and thought (Rocker, Chomsky, Knabb, Bicher & Nitzan, Trotsky, Zinn and others). I also enjoy Japanese animation and Manga (when I can spare the time). My taste in movies is also eclectic, and I'm probably the only person I know who likes both Chocolat and Karaketer on one hand and Conan the Barbarian on the other.

The six things I could never do without

- Radical activism and thought (I am an Anarchist, after all)
- Having challenging projects to pursue
- The sense of being part of a group, a class, an organization
- The comfort of a close interpersonal relationship, familiarity and intimacy. I can't do without it, yet I don't have it! A conundrum!

And I'm keeping the rest open for now :-P
