Righties and Romans (and cynics) might call me sinister, but i'm a nice guy—that's common. I scored beyond scale on several Wechsler components—that's uncommon. I doubt either have gotten me very far.
I work on ideas i think have promise in changing the world, such as collaborative filtering and social computing. I rarely watch sports except to learn something in a sport i play. When i cycled and raced, i trained and rode 10000km yearly for years, until i burned myself out, but still i prefer doing to watching. My compatriots and i now find ourselves the center of organized inline skating in Rochester.
I read anything and everything, from dictionaries and food labels to Internet news and blogs to documentation and manuals. If “we read to know we are not alone,” i must be awfully lonely —help, help!
