About me:
I'm in grad school, getting my master's in blinkenlights from a land where plants and hats talk and everything is a game. I think when I'm done I want to spend my life making things that are indistinguishable from magic. Magic objects that help people play together. Playing games that change the world. So, yes, the plan is to save the world using magic toys. Do you have a better plan for a Saturday night?
I want to hack the city - this city, plus that other one over there - before it's too late.
Give a man a key, and he'll open the lock that it fits. Teach him to pick a lock, and no door will ever stand in his way.
I see design and shape in everything. While this sounds romantic in concept, it also means that I work incessantly, for the line between work and play is a fine one. To know me is to have me thrust new technologies on you, so be forewarned. I'm also a news hound - I love learning things, and it feels right to know what's going on in the world. I push my limits, always. I do my best work when I'm out of my element, so I tend to keep in motion.
My Facebook profile, which sees much more use than this one nowadays

Who I'd like to meet:
People who are smart and creative and passionate.
In alphabetical order: adventurers, anarchists, artists, communists, explorers, freaks, hippies, gamers, geeks, kindred spirits, outcasts, punks, nerds, rock stars, students, teachers /etc
In the land of love: Someone to whom I can write finger-crampingly-long, achingly romantic letters, send dirty pictures, and grope in the back row of the opera. It's a round trip - you don't get one without the others, so don't ask.
...and you have to be fun, silly, ridiculous, and willing to build forts out of couch cushions and watch horror movies and play video games all night and eat ice cream for breakfast the next morning (coffee ice cream, duh). That is vitally important if you're to become a recurring character.
