I'm a rapscallion, self proclaimed hacker, infovore, and connoisseur of mixed drinks, as well as a very persnickety person.

At any given moment I'm likely living like it's the best moment of my life. My enthusiasm is boundless. I love to admire or partake in any creative work: music, art, making, baking, reading, writing, fashion, if someone considers it to be art I probably love it. As such I tend to unwittingly stumble into hipster-esque behaviors.

I love conversation with passionate individuals. I continually desire to learn new things, curiosity is the driving force in anything I do.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:Anything by Neal Stephenson, Cory Doctorow, Douglas Adams, Paolo Bacigalupi (especially "The Windup Girl") Ian M. Banks, The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, and Richard Dawkins. If the story is good I want it etched into my brain.

Shows: If Joss Whedon touched it, I like it. The I.T. Crowd, BSG, Sherlock (BBC), Penn & Teller Bullshit. A gamut of podcasts that mainly include short fiction and interviews with authors.

Music:I used to (years ago) listen to heavy metal exclusively, since then I've branched out. I love chiptunes, but my staple is really sappy pretty music. I listen to any music that feels like real emotion is behind it. The Dark Clan, bankai (at bandcamp), We Are FM, Yael Naïm, The Devil Wears Prada, and many more.

Food:I mostly eat like a vegan, but I don't claim to be one. I haven't found a cuisine I don't like. I adore Indian, Ethiopian, Thai, Japanese, and I'm always ready to try a new dish!
