CURRENT MISSION

Make the world a happier place, one or two surfers at a time. ;)

ABOUT ME

Generally happy, always absent-minded, mostly hard-working, slightly tilted, often confused, enthousiasticly naïve and just as friendly as awkward :)

PHILOSOPHY

Ah, I used to think that I was a utilitarian, but in hindsight, that's just too weird. The fact of the matter is that I like everybody to be happy. Let's keep it at that. ;) And god is dead, sorry, but if you still want to pay hommage to the guy, that's fine with me. :)

The universe is just so awesome and fantastic and at the same time so cruel in making us so insignificant. I guess we all have to find a little bit of space were we can make a difference. :)

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

Teach: I'm pretty good with a sort of broad spectrum approach to science. But when it comes to specifics, I'm afraid things get a bit boring.
What I could (theoretically) teach about are these subjects:
- environment (global warming, environmental technology -especially water treatment, toxins, ...)
- process engineering (any takers? i guess not. ;) )

What I love to learn about:
- travel & culture
- music (i dissappointed myself when younger by not having the discipline to actually learn to play an instrument, but some day I'm going to make up for it. ;) )
- cooking (i know nothing, but i'm willing to learn)
