I love music and ideas.

I love challenge and growth.

I've just finished my PhD and started a company called Fruition Technology where I contract myself out to do research on cool geeky projects.

I like to read alot, but find I rarely have the time to read as much as I want (my reading list is getting ridiculous).

I want to also spend more time creating music. I DJ under the name Jetpilot ( http://jetpilotdj.com ) and now I've been doing it a couple of years, I'm getting regular and bigger gigs. I'm trying to move into live electronic composition though, as just mixed song after song is getting less exciting then it used to be.

I used to do Kung Fu and gymnastics, I want to get back into both. I also used to be a bit of a gym bunny, but my current living situation has made that difficult. Suffice to say, I like to keep fit. It keeps me sane when I get stressed at all the cool things I'm trying to pack into my life.

One of my research projects is trying to develop an Artificial Sentience (I don't say Artificial Intelligence because that term is overused for things that are not conscious) - the two reasons I want to do this are a) to understand our own consciousness, intelligence and existance, and b) because it hasn't been done and most people tend to think it is impossible. I guess I just like hard problems.

making no sense

Free-form dancing - I like to be the guy that dances enthusiastically (and not half bad) all night at raves.

DJing

Always having a project or creative endeavour to work on.

Programming, Computers, and a bunch of geeky stuff.

I'm only human.

My ready smile.

the earth, my brain, my heart, my love, my vision, my shoes

Tomorrow, Consciousness and the mind, Music, Possibilities

One of: hanging out with friends, drinking, programming, djing], dancing, exploring my consciousness. Sometimes all of the above.

I used to have an intense irrational fear of Danger mouse when I was a kid.

You are interested in discussing interesting things, you can dance, you like wit, and you are not paralysingly cynical, psychotic, or serious... although a little of each is okay ;)

I also don't believe in many conventional forms of romance. Diamonds are often from an evil source, gold is often disruptive to ecosystems and personally I think it's ugly (unless it's white gold). I don't believe love necessitates marriage, I'd prefer to stay with someone because we both WANT to, not because we have some legal or religious symbol binding us.

Having said all that, I'm also hopelessly romantic about the little things that are often taken for granted. Random gifts win.
