About Me

I like to keep an open mind - I like to try new things out. Life should be lived on the extremes - that's where all the fun stuff is. All things in moderation, especially moderation. It must be the Aries in me, too.
Look! I'm an inventor!

ENTP - "Inventor". Enthusiastic interest in everything and always sensitive to possibilities. Non-conformist and innovative. 3.2% of the total population. Take Free Myers-Briggs Personality Test
I was educated a scientist, but I enjoy art , poetry , and Eastern philosophy . I like hanging out with friends and just having a good time. I must be getting old - I'm liking more low-key things nowadays.
I also drive fast. I don't speed, but if the road is open, no cars, not in residential, I'll put the hammer down. Again, I blame the impatient Aries in me. :)

My Interests

Datum Center
I like playing basketball, poker , hanging out with friends, drinking , video games , diving, football ( DETROIT LIONS! ).
I am apparently now addicted to myspace, however.
And I have this weird craving for ancient Chinese pottery . Go figure.

I'd like to meet:

Someone with a smile I can wake up to in the morning. Someone with whom I can have a meaningful conversation.
"I like people who are sharp enough to think that almost everyone they meet is an idiot, but kind enough to feel really bad for thinking it." -- Joe Long
No, but really - anyone and everyone. If you breathe, you have something to teach me. I just enjoy adding people as friends. Woo hoo!

House of Flying Daggers

Ugh. A rather disappointing movie, in my opinion. The fight scenes were pretty good, although they are suffering from the very American tradition of over-editing. Why can't I see even ten straight ...

Peak Oil

Is anyone else scared of peak oil, or is it just me?

New York!

NYC is a very interesting and fun place! Walked all over the damn city today, and my legs are totally tired. One of the cooler things is being able to cross the street just about whenever, as long a...

Cross Country Trip

OK, here's the scenario: I've got a wedding to attend in SF (well, Santa Rosa, but same thing) on May 23rd. I also have another wedding to attend in Connecticut (of all places) on June 12th. So wha...

NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo for those of you who don't know, is National Novel Writing Month. It also happens to be November! What this basically means is that I, and probably a few thousand other crazy folks, will...

Kill Bill

So I saw "Kill Bill" tonight (opening night), and here's my comments, for all two of you people that care and may read this. It's definitely a throw-back to the old martial arts films. It's fun, b...

Reality TV

Here's my meme prediction for the next year or two: reality TV will become more of a non-confrontational deal. I am thinking that makeover type shows will be popular (see Queer Eye for the Straigh...
