CURRENT MISSION

Yet Another Epicycle of Nature

ABOUT ME

I like bikes; I am very skeptical of cars, though I sometimes drive them. Buses are cool, especially in Mexico.

I am a night owl. I spend a lot of time reading and working on a laptop at cafes. I enjoy people-watching.
I know very little about sports. I have a dry sense of humor.

I like plants. When possible, I plant a yearly vegetable garden, and grow as many plants as possible from seed. I have an extensive seed collection, including a number of ornamental and medicinal plants.

I love veganaise and brown rice and collard greens and butter. I don't eat much sugar or meat, but I'm pretty flexible.

Hotels kinda freak me out. I prefer to stay with friends, or friends of friends, or friends of friends of friends...

PHILOSOPHY

I do all my best work 2 hours before i wake up.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really enjoy hosting folks who enjoy being hosted. Respect goes a long ways. Life is busy these days, but I enjoy hosting when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I can't believe i travelled for years without it!

Plants and water and soil.

Growing, cooking, and eating vegetable-stuff of all sorts.

Unix/Linux, Open-Source Software in general. LaTeX, R, C++, and Postgresql in specific.

Beer, Wine, Aqua Vitae, and all sorts in between. I like to brew I drink and talk about the whole process.

Increasingly, time series analysis (wavelets) and human microparasite ecology. Data-driven computational biology.

音乐、电影和书籍

I really like to read. I switch back and forth between long novels, popular nonfiction, and technical reading for work.

Netflix is really nice. I go to the theater sometimes.

WDVX.com and KEXP.org. I get KUNM 89.9 on my FM dial. I used to get WUOG 90.5, and I miss it.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I can't decide if I prefer sunsets or sunrises. No need to rank them, I suppose...

Old crazy men who are wicked-smart, even if they're grumpy.
