About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make up my mind.

ABOUT ME

me?
I live in Israel, but I was born in Russia and moved here in 1991.
Currently I work very hard and (try to) study Math & Computer Science. I am interested in too many things to do them all, so many end up being half-done, which is a pitty.
I love company and try to meet my friends as much as possible.
I want to travel more.

PHILOSOPHY

Working on it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love music and quite of an audiophile. I try to listen to as many different music as I can especially live. Currently I listen to a lot of new (new to me) albums and I started a small project (http://www.reddit.com/r/themvoices/) where I share the cool stuff that I find on the way. If you like music be sure to check it out.

Recently I really want to break from English speaking music so feel free to suggest me local bands that you really like!

Movies: I don't watch much movies recently but some movies that come to mind are: Fight Club, Trainspotting, Sin City, 300, Planet Terror, 24 Days Later, Pi, La Cité des enfants perdus, anything Emir Kusturica, anything by the Coen bros, anything by Woody Allen, Clockwork Orange, some by Mel Brooks.

Books: Not much recently. I read slowly and don't have much time and currently I prefer non-fiction books. Mostly history. Also I've a project of reading the main ancient Greek literature in Greek (it'll take a while).

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn as much as possible before I die.
I can teach stuff (look at the interests).
