I'm a physics graduate student (working on a chemistry project for a biological application) here at
Penn State University, working in
Paul Weiss's lab. It's a nice place to work, when everything's working, and a reasonably nice place to work when everything's not. I did my undergrad as a physics major at
Cornell University, which I thoroughly enjoyed, in retrospect, and would avoid doing again, if possible (which, fortunately, it is).
In addition to my current
scientific work, I'm also an
Parkour practitioner (in training), amateur writer, avid reader, and cat-lover. I like a fair number of things and dislike more, as it is with most people. I'm not a big outdoorsman, but I always like to be prepared for the day I'm kidnapped, dropped in the middle of the woods, and left for dead. I enjoy poker, but I'm not a big fan of gambling. I cook, though nothing too exotic. And I keep quite an odd array of friends around because I firmly believe that life ought to be interesting, if only because everyone around you is weird.
My labmates are no end of help on that score.
I have a girlfriend I love very much, a business partner who shares my aims of bettering the world, a list of ideas a mile long, and the patience to make it all work together. Now if only I had the money to fund the bloody thing, I'd be all set. Seriously, who'd have thought fixing the world's problems would be so hard?
I suppose the only thing left to mention is how to find me: you can't. I exist in a pocket universe interfacing with your reality only at very specific points, and you'd have to retrieve the Key to get in anyway. Fortunately, after much negotiation and a totally legitamite deal that involved no animal sacrifices at all, I was able to get a stable internet connection piped in. I mean, really, we're living in the future here. How can you not have internet? Though, since you're reading this, I guess you know that. In any case, I can be reached via e-mail at
. I apologize for the graphic nature of my e-mail, but the spam is bad enough as it is, thank you very much.
