ABOUT ME
I'm pretty into bicycling, more as transportation than sport. I do like to go fast and ride up big hills like the ones Pittsburgh offered me. Now I'm riding my bicycle to work every day in San Diego.
I'm also into computers & science & art & human cooperation & music & politics. Many of these things.
