CURRENT MISSION

Find diamonds in the dirt, build a spaceship with them, and explore space (both inner and outer) forever

ABOUT ME

Sometimes I think I'm insane, other times I think everyone else is insane, and most times I think we're all insane. And it's probably more fun that way.

PHILOSOPHY

As soon as you write your personal philosophy, it's changed. The more bureaucracy, the worse it is, whatever it is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I know some cool people from CS, have been to some gatherings, and am a big fan of couches in general.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A couple weeks ago (spring '11) we rented a permanent tent-like room incircled (it's a word now, i guess) with couches in this fish restaurant here in Saudi. It was good times, I like eating.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a friend try to light a bbq by closing it and spraying lighter fluid into a hole in the side. He was engulfed in flame, but escaped unscathed - except his eyebrows and back hair! Unfortunately, the bbq didn't light.

I want to learn better Arabic.

I know how to see through walls.
