About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do a science! Build the Hyperloop.

ABOUT ME

I'm an incredibly curious fellow. I try to learn an index of all knowledge, then fill it in a bit.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is achieved through spiritual balance, which is in turn achieved by a commitment to a maximisation of breadth and intensity of continuous experience, in all aspects of life. All decisions must be made according to the above criterion.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm seriously obsessed with late-romantic early-modern piano music, which can be categorised in layman's terms as 'classical that doesn't sound nice', or 'classical, but not boring' depending on your point of view. I've also been arranging modern 'pop' songs for my a capella group.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiked to Magadan. Where is that even?

Climbed volcanoes in various places. I even camped on Vesuvius once, but it was bloody freezing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Also speak Nerd fluently. I'm happy to teach anyone the basics of maths, music, language, or how to cook authentic Australian biscuits, or my amazing pasta with eggs and tomato sauce. I want to learn everything. In particular, there's some devilishly technical fluid mechanics stuff I'm trying to get my head around. And you know, economics. Also I'd like to make a spacesuit and test it by climbing a high mountain and running around.
