Brief Biographical Sketch:

I take too many physics classes, too many music classes, and too many astronomy classes.

But, to give myself a breather, I teach. Because I LOVE teaching. It takes up all of my free time. Which is awesome, because it's something I love. A lot.

So yeah. I'm also a technology freak and read Anandtech, the Verge, and IGN too frequently.

What else is there to say?
