Bio

I'm a gay computer geek, originally from Kansas but now living in San Francisco.

Here's the mini-bio I posted on There Probably Isn't:

As a youngster, I was a huge science geek whose best birthday gift ever was an encyclopedia set called "Growing Up With Science". I originally wanted to become an electrical engineer, until my family bought our first PC when I was around 13. From that point forward, computers were my passion, and throughout high school I knew that I wanted to go on to college and study Computer Science. After a long road that went places I absolutely never planned on — including dropping out of college and stocking groceries at Wal-mart — I kept studying independently and eventually landed my dream job in the Silicon Valley.

In light of the current financial crisis, I've been studying up on economics — Austrian school to be specific (Rothbard, Hayek, Mises). Coming at it from a progressive liberal Democrat perspective is... never boring. Thankfully, though, Austrian economics is actually pretty laid back and welcoming of left-libertarian perspectives, especially when contrasted against Objectivists and other wingnutty, Republican-flavored varieties of libertarianism.
