With a good sense of responsibility and the right encouragement, I don't think there's anything I can't do

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies that make me laugh are the best, but I really like ones that are well-written and adroit, like Thank You For Smoking, Snatch, Pulp Fiction, and so on.

My favorite type of music is rock, mostly classic, punk, and indie rock. It's good stuff.

The books I read are almost exclusively nonfiction. I guess you could classify most of them as behavioral economics and related, so anything by Malcolm Gladwell, Nassim Taleb, the Freakonimics guys, etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing the Great Wall of China was amazing. Seeing Gorbachev give a speech in Spain and touring the Potala Palace were too. So was Burning Man. In fact, I'm going to go with Burning Man as the most amazing thing I've ever done/seen.
