CURRENT MISSION

Get by, contribute, have fun (in that order).

ABOUT ME

I'm just this guy, you know?

PHILOSOPHY

Since there are no ends, they can never justify the means. How you do things is more important than what you do. The words "fair", "deserve", "earn", and "justice" are meaningless and are only used to make people feel righteous when they do wrong.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A bunch of folks have stayed at my house. I have stayed with a few folks while checking out this country a little. I like people and sharing.

Interests

I study mathematics, repair bicycles, learn, make connections, and construct (mostly mental) models. I have recently decided to pursue garment construction, but it's taking some time to get rolling.

Brian Dewan, Primer, Geek Love.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach almost everything about bicycle mechanics, more than most about mathematics, and a good deal about cooking (my baking is weaker, but coming along). I'm also always ready and willing to help a person ditch commercial software and embrace the world of freely shared information. I pride myself in having a broad knowledge both practical and esoteric. I'm interested to learn what you know about tailoring, embroidery, and fine-art painting technique.
