About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spending the summer in Japan while I'm visiting a research lab in the Kyoto area.

ABOUT ME

I'm generally easygoing and like seeing the world for what it is.

PHILOSOPHY

Who are we, who is each one of us, if not a combinatoria of experiences, information, books we have read, things imagined? Each life is an encyclopedia, a library, an inventory of objects, a series of styles, and everything can be constantly shuffled and reordered in every way conceivable.'

- Italo Calvino, Multiplicity, in Six Memos for the Next Millennium.
