ABOUT ME
I'm a considerate, calm guy, all open for any new experiences.
I dance with passion, enjoy seeing bands live i've never heard of. It comes out i'm really into support bands :)
I am into absurd, I see absurd in absurdest places, so bear with me if I smile at your teapot.
I prefer mildly liking some aspect of a thing to hating it as a whole.
I'm sorry not to be ably to recite any poetry and always enjoy people doing it.
I'm into meta, the funny game of changing point of view and seeing it all from above, again and again.
PHILOSOPHY
taking nothing seriously. i'm your direct opposite if you start talking philosophy. now i'm interested in the very basics, like sense and the connection between an object and its name.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
It is amazing, how your perception of your own city changes if you are with people who are new to this place and eager to see as much as possible. The amazing feeling of being foreign. It gets less sharp with time, but aren't we all strangers on this planet? We come and go.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am good at helping people understand computer software, particularly open source and open source attitude, I am a linux activist. I am interested in (natural) languages, how they work and how they change.
