About Me

I just got a bachelor's degree at age 32, then moved to North Carolina (raise up!) to go for a Ph.D. at Duke.
During the long break in my undergraduate career, I co-founded Plan B, the New Orleans Community Bike Project , which is cool. And still going.
For more about me, ask somebody.

My Interests

bikes, dessert, big butts, coffee, brains, learning things, outdoorsy shit that other people instigate, melting my brain with the internet, the occasional video game, dogs, cats, Balkan music

I'd like to meet:

People who know fun things to do around Durham after that. Fun things include dancing, eating, people-watching, dog-watching, tree-climbing, seeing live music.
Scientists, perverts, people who know stuff I don't know (but aren't know-it-alls), good dancers, bad dancers who manage not to be painful to look at when they dance badly, feminists who believe its okay to condemn the treatment of women in ass-backwards Islamic communities (even if they want to understand said treatment), people with big-headed dogs…

Music:

Hammers of Misfortune, Kocani Orkestar, Talking Heads, Kraftwerk, Bruce Haack, Trina, Jay-Z, James Brown, Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, Sean Paul, Fanfare Ciocarlia, The Knife

Movies:

Pootie Tang, Divided We Fall, But I'm A Cheerleader, Underground, Dancehall Queen, West Side Story, A Perfect World

Television:

The Wire, Animal Cops, Rex the Runt, anything with Alton Brown, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (the U.K. version)

Books:

Pretty much anything by Richard Dawkins or Oliver Sacks. I read a lot of books and think they're awesome but still forget about them within a few weeks.

Heroes:

Paul & Helen, Charles Darwin, Elizabeth Loftus, Chef Ramsay

My Blog

No blog here.

Um, I already almost never post anything to http://blog.yonatron.org. But if I ever do think of anything worth posting about, I'm not doing it twice, so it'll only be there.Thank you for your understa...
