About Me

I am God's gift to soldering.Well I have dug my hole to China and back, and boy, it was fun. I also love mountain biking and I am very interested in interactive art and educational technology. Meeting new people is kind of an addiction for me. I seek thrills and usually pay. (ie... I have bruises all over my legs from falling of my bike, hahahaha)
