About Me

Living in New Haven, CT for a bit working my 8 to 6 engineering job M-F. I used to work in a real tiny office, smaller than my bedroom, that didn't even have a door. Now I have an office (not in the corner - but at least it has a door). I want to get a dog but have no one to share the responsibility with. I really liked Dunkachinos (until DD discontinued them). I wear flip flops in the winter. I think the summer is for the beach & the winter is for snowboarding. Anything else...just ask, I guess...

Old version but still amazing:
