About Me

My name is Ryan and I'm 24 years old. I graduated 3 years ago from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo with a degree in Computer Science. I worked with HP in Cupertino for just over a year, but now I'm on to bigger and better things. I currently work at A9, a subsidiary of Amazon, doing search.
I'm a pretty active person and enjoy virtually any type of activity, whether it be sports, hiking, just walking around some city's downtown, or whatever. (But I usually end up playing WOW or watching tv shows on dvd) I've recently started watching baseball again, which is obviously the best sport on the planet (forget soccer). Of course I do enjoy having long discussions about random facts, trivia, or just about any topic, especially religion and philosphy. In general I try to live life to its fullest, always focusing on His grace and glory.
Quotes that describe me (or what I think): The mind of man may plan his ways, but the Lord directs his steps - Proverbs 16:9, NASB
For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain - Philipians 1:21, NASB
A joyful heart is a good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones - Proverbs 17:22, NASB
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. - 2 Corinthians 4:17, NIV
We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams. - Willy Wonka
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. - Andy, Shawshank Redemption
A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor. - Les Miserables
From Wizard of Oz -
Dorothy: How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don't know...but some people without brains do an awful lot of talking...don't they?
Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil. - Plato
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire's biographer
From Dumb and Dumber -
Lloyd: So what are the chances of a guy like you and a girl like me getting together...like one in a hundred?
Mary: More like....one in a million.
