I'm a late 20's programmer in the middle of an ongoing quest to reconcile rationality and spirituality. I'm interested in all things computer geeky, (primarily software), but also deeply into things like sustainable city design, writing simulation software, and inventing a non-zero sum corporate culture. Either that, or I'll have a nervous breakdown, and go become a homeless poet in Seattle.
In my professional guise, I'm an XSLT and Java programmer, working on help systems and web content management systems. Outside of work, I also enjoy rock climbing, reading all kinds of fiction (especially sci-fi and fantasy), writing poetry, meeting interesting people, riding my motorcycle, trying to do Euler circuits through grocery stores, snowboarding, and devising plans to save the world if only people would cooperate with my mad schemes. I'm a college dropout returned lately to school, working on my undergrad in computer science with an AI emphasis and considering going on for a PhD, while continuing to work.
