This question fills me with the same existential dread as mandatory personal introductions at work, or online dating profiles. Without disclosing too much, I'll give a brief bio.

Short description

Programmer & Linux User. I wish I was a Perl hacker. Failed guitarist. Enjoy odd music and visionary film. Striving to make the Web personal again.

Compulsively curious to know what underlies things, to understand what makes them alike. I believe this drives my choice of programming languages, operating systems, and artistic tastes.
