About Me

I like to ride my bike through weird subsections of Jersey towns, places like Herbertsville and Ramtown and Adelphia. I'm also a big fan of reading books in bed so that when you fall asleep the book is open on your chest and you don't lose your place. Every now and then I download a 90s-era Sierra computer game and beat it in an hour or two just for nostalgia's sake. I'm too cheap to buy the DVD sets of my favorite television shows so I search for random episodes on YouTube and that puts a smile on my face. Praise be to the Internet. Well, that's about it.

My Interests

Reading, writing, long nomadic bike rides, tabletop role-playing games, getting lost in Brooklyn (on purpose), learning about neuroscience, emotion and autism. Oh, and I'm really into old-school, AGI-dev Sierra games. I will pay someone twenty dollars to make a pixelated, animated version of me.

Heroes:

My father, Baruch (Benedict) Spinoza, William James, Leonard Cohen. I go back and forth about Nietzsche. Recently, I found a picture of an autistic boy sitting zazen in a psychiatric ward. Though I don't know him I can honestly say he is a hero of mine as well.
