-----------------------------

I love meeting new people - anybody and everybody. I'm working on this really neat project that encourages meeting new people in the real world! (as opposed to only online chatting.) It's called Meetro and it's a location-aware instant-messaging client that shows you who is logged on nearby in real-time - Go ahead, start meeting people!

I've been an east coast kid all my life. I moved out to the bay area in Jan of '06 to be smack in the middle of Silicon Valley . I'm in Palo Alto, and although it's a bit suburb'ish, I'm loving the startup/tech atmosphere out here. nyc will always be home, but San Fran is a fun city too, you can get away with a lot of things here...

I like having reasonably intelligents conversations, I also like having drunk 3am in the morning conversations, actually, I probably prefer the latter... I like to have fun. I like to laugh, I love sketch comedy.

I sorta have a rickshaw, here it is:

I like 'social software' so I'm always cruising the web, watching how everybody lives on all these social networking sites. I think the profiles that say things like "If you're a hatta, don't message me" are fuckin funny...

I like the 'free culture' of Open Source Software and things like the Creative Commons . The concept of a read/write web is exciting to me, same thing with phrases like 'community created content'. That makes me a geek, but also provides me hours of entertainment on youtube.

Drop me a message if you want to add me as a friend. Or come say "Hi" to me on Meetro . Just download the software and install. I'll be right there on your buddy list under the 'Meetro HQ.'
Other tidbits about me:
-----------------------------
* I know how to use computers.
* I used to have a fish in a large glass pitcher that should have been used for pouring kool-aid. He disappeared one-day during a party I threw. I'm curious where he went.
* I like it when I walk into parties and people shout "Vinn-nay."
* I will never turn down a drink.
