About Me

I am a professional contradiction. :) In my spare time, I am a hockey-playing, music-addicted, design-obsessed, french-speaking, chocolate-cake-baking, trivia question-answering, fast-talking canadian expat. I take pictures . Further. I write , I edit, I cook (quite well, I might add). I tweak code, push pixels and kern type. I think about the future and read about the past. In fact, I read a lot. I have been known to read anything lying in front of me, including my email, which I get entirely too much of.

I run a house concert series in San Francisco. If you’re in the bay area, check it out.

Important note

Please do not use MySpace as a substitute for email. If you already know me/my email, send messages there.

If I don't know you, don't add me as a friend. Just send me a message. And use full sentences. Got it? good.

Really. I mean it.

If you are a lame-ass band, don't even think about it.

My Interests

hockey, singer-songwriters, macs, bike commuting, trivia, IP law, wordplay, hybrid cars, poutine, digital SLR photography, football, montreal canadiens, rollerblading, snowboarding

I'd like to meet:
