All about me. Hmmmm, well here is something that my friend Laura once
told me:
you know, you could be considered a nerd. you don't look like one, but
you have a computer and math major, you get excited about the new TeX,
etc. why don't you get out more?
She's always awfully nice to me.
So I have a BS, double major in math and computer science, from the
University of
Washington (1999). The UW's a wonderful school, particulary the
Computer Science Department, which I feel very lucky to have been
a part of. Currently, I'm working in Seattle as a programmer at
an e-commerce business (the view from my window).
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING GABRIEL?
hmmmmm...
I love a
good book, there are few things better, a short list of my favorites is: The
Lord of the Rings, Tad William's Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn
trilogy, Adam's Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Dumas' The Count of Monte
Cristo, Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence,
James Hilton's Random Harvest, and anything by Charles de Lint.
And what would
life be without music? again a few of my fav's are: Suzanne Vega,
The Beastie Boys, Sky Cries Mary, The Creatures, David Bowie, 311,
Squirrel Nut Zippers, Steeleye Span, Combustible Edison, Plastilina Mosh, and so much
more.
I'm a down-hill skier (when I can afford it), and I play racquetball and tennis, and ride my bicycle a lot (mostly to work).
And I love juggling and flower sticks! I'm working on my 5-ball right now, I can't
keep them up for long. I also juggle clubs and can do a good number
of different patterns with them, and with 3 and 4 balls. I'm even
semi-professional! -- to kill
time while waiting for my bus at the Greyhound station, I sat in line
and did 3-ball patterns. I made $3.53, I totally wasn't expecting
it, it was pretty fun I thought.
One more thing I enjoy a lot is sleeping. I think sleep is a
real great idea and I'm working on fitting more of it into my
schedule.
So what do I look like? My mom I'm told, but I don't see the
resemblance. I'm 6 foot 3 with long
brown hair. And now I even have a
picture
of myself, I'm the one in the middle, we were trying
to smirk for the camera, I'm not sure if that explains all
our expressions.
