About Me

Who am I?
I am me.  That is, I’m a 29 year old writer, musician, composer, software engineer, business professional, and consultant.  I’m also witty, cynical, opinionated, self-deprecating, and sarcastic as hell.  I also like intellectual puzzles.  As an example, I have hidden my Stanford-Binet score in this sentence for you to find.

What am I like?
While I’m generally somewhat outgoing, according to Myers-Briggs I’m an INTJ at heart.  Personally, I think that I’m 31% nice, 34% sweet, and 35% evil.  I have also been known to make the occasional ad hominem attack on those who lack the adequate logic skills to debate me yet continue to drone on and on about inane controversial topics.  Sure, it’s a fallacy, but if they’re too stupid to recognize it, I’d rather enjoy watching them squirm ;)

What do I do?
While I currently have a great full-time job as the Vice President of Database Administration for myYearbook.com, I’m also developing a commercial database product and I operate another blog which is focused on Oracle database internals.  When I’m not busy working on those items, I enjoy sharing my computing-related knowledge and experience by speaking at various conferences.  On the even rarer occasion that I have some free time, I enjoy reading, music composition, and playing piano, violin, or a little guitar.  I can also play viola, cello, and string bass, but don’t own them at this point in time :(

What is my dream career?
While I once wanted to be an attorney, my dream career is to be a film composer.  Though, I guess that will have to wait until I get done with this whole Information Technology gig.

Am I a geek?
I enjoy programming, advanced math, and algorithm development/optimization.  Does that answer your question?

What is my favorite drink?
In the morning, nothing starts my day like a large coffee with cream and two Splenda from Dunkin’ Donuts.  At night, nothing replaces my true love, Starbucks Venti Peppermint Mocha.  Venti Peppermint Mocha, you complete me.

What is my favorite alcoholic drink?
That’s a tough one.  I’d say that, depending on the mood, my favorite drink is one of the following: Tropical Itch, Long Island Iced Tea, Jack & Coke, Jim & Coke, Seven and Seven, Glenmorangie, Chivas, Patron, or a glass of Tawny Port, Burgundy, or White Zinfandel.

Do I ever sleep?
No.  Just kidding, I generally sleep 3 hours a night.

Where can you find more of my irrelevant thoughts and opinions?
Where else do all of us self-important people post our thoughts?  On Twitter of course!

How can you contact me?
Heh, why would you ever want to do that?  :)   If you want, feel free to email me!
