I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

What my clients are saying about me

My Interests

Programming (about 80% of my life), music (unfortunately I have to sleep the other 20%), philosophy (in all that I do), politics and religion (they are one and the same), Art-As-Math and Math-As-Art, Culture (low-brow and high-brow), Travel, NYC and Philly!

I'd like to meet:

If we've ever known each other, then by all means drop a line and remind me of who you are. I've got a memory like swiss cheese (where was I going with this, again?)

If you're a legitimate friend of a friend and are legitimately looking to expand your network then, sure, drop me a line.

If you're more than 1° or 2° of separation away from me (a complete stranger) but think networking could be of benefit to both of us I'm interested to hear what you think.

Finally, if you want to pay me for my IT Consulting services then absolutely do contact me.

Ever seen those profiles where the user has hundreds upon hundreds, if not thousands, of friends? If you're one of these people then go away. I have no time for whores who have little sense of the meaning of the word "friend" and thinks it's somehow cool to "collect" "friends" as a status thing then I have absolutely no time for you.

Also, if you want to sell me a product, service, or propagandize me in any way then you should also go away.

In the end, if we will never meet for coffee if we happen to have free time while in the same metro then we can not be friends.
