About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world before it's gone.

ABOUT ME

I went to school at RIT for Software Engineering. Now I'm going to sail around the world for a few years on a nuclear submarine.

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy is actually a pretty cool subject. I wish I had realized that while I was still in High School or College.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a bunch of people at the Ant Hill Housing Cooperative in Rochester, NY when I lived there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing people are great. They bring beers, play music, help bottle pickles on the front porch, and convince me to go on long-distance bicycle trips. The only bad guest experiences I've ever had were from people NOT within the CS community.

Interests

computers, games, music, language, hacking

You know, nerd stuff.

Music, Movies, and Books

My jinni account probably shows best what movies I like:

Music: classic rock, experimental, electronic, prog rock, classical, chiptunes, jazz and blues

Books on my shelf right now ... Musicophilia, annotated works John Milton, Moonwalking with Einstein.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I suppose I can teach you how to program. Especially Java, HTML/CSS, and PHP.

Also I've got a growing collection of educational materials on an external hard drive that I try to share with anyone willing to learn. (ask me about a subject, I probably have it)

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
