Author, geek, ex-cult figurehead.

I'm building a search engine: www.live.com

I'm an optimist with a strong practical side. I believe the world has been getting consistently better for thousands of years. Sometimes (like right now) it slides downhill for a while, but inevitably it comes back better than before. I believe in putting energy into making the world a better place, however you can.

I like exploring all that life has to offer, making my own rules, and feeling at home in many different settings. I'm lucky to know a lot of incredible, creative, out-of-the-box people. I love burning man and especially the subculture that burning man has catalyzed.

I've been incredibly lucky in this life - more than I can easily convey. I've done things my own way and somehow I've gotten away with it. I've had amazing experiences that others would kill for. I had the good sense to be born to good parents and with good genes.

In the end, though, my greatest fortune is in the wonderful people I know. Beautiful (inside and out), brilliant, creative, generous, unique, original people seem to attract each other. I'm lucky to have so many of them as friends, and I love the fact that I keep meeting more who fit that description.
