About me

Gender Male
Industry Student
Location Berkeley, California, United States
Introduction The way I behave and live is basically summed up by the statement "life's too short." Well, it's not that it's too short--it's more that it's too unpredictable. We all live on the razor's edge. This fact drives me insane!
Interests Mountaineering, gadgets, carbs, motorcycles (no, I'm not a squid--I save the crazy stuff for the race track), rock climbing, kite surfing, skydiving, scuba diving, badminton, travel, food, movies, hiking, kickboxing.
Favorite Movies The Matrix, The Big Hit, Memento, The Usual Suspects, Resevoir Dogs, The Others, Fist of Legend, and a whole lot more.
Favorite Music A little bit of everything. I'm currently into Kym Marsh.
Favorite Books My favorite book of all time is Einstein's Dreams, by Alan Lightman (fables about places where time behaves quite differently). I also enjoyed Robert Fulghum's 1st 3 books, adventure novels like We Die Alone (story of survival during WWII in Norway) or Annapurna (an account of the climb of Annapurna before Everest was summited). And I enjoy non-fiction like Freakonomics (an economists view on various questions) and The World is Flat (about globalization).
