CURRENT MISSION

Catch up with the sun

ABOUT ME

Of all the things in there world there are to know, there's startlingly few that help a person find purpose in their life. I'd like to wander about and meet some cool people and do some fun things, just in case I discover that my purpose is to be boring and old some day.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a bit of a romantic when it comes to science. I've been in love with the future since... well, it was love at first sight. Though I've never had the focus to sit down and try to fix the world, I can see how pieces of it, advances in technology (hallmarks of human triumph) and the brilliant minds at work on them are coming steadily together. One day, we might be free of all the things we call human. To err, to sin, to die... One day I might no longer love the future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A two hour heat-lightning storm with no thunder rapport, beating the night sky with sheets of light and a dead, windless silence.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to make Spinach salad, all kinds of alcoholic drinks, and I can tell you all about carbon nanotubes.

I want to learn about places, the people in them, and what makes them happy.
